Roles and Permissions

Your role decides which actions show up and which screens you can work in.

If a button or menu item is missing, your role is usually the reason.

Blueprints roles are ServiceNow roles under the x_inpi_ydbp scope. They follow your instance's standard role assignment, ACL, and audit behavior.

Role overview

Role	Main purpose	Typical actions
Blueprint Template Editor	Define structure and governance	Create templates, edit template rules, manage templates, create and edit blueprints
Blueprint Editor	Build blueprint content	Create blueprints, edit blueprint content, save/update blueprints
Blueprint Committer	Review and publish approved changes	Open existing blueprints, review pending changes, run commit workflows

What each role can do

Role	Can	Cannot
Blueprint Template Editor	Create and manage templates, configure tables/fields/filters/relationship rules, create and edit blueprints, open compliance and commit workflows, delete blueprints
Blueprint Editor	Create blueprints from templates, edit existing blueprints, save and update, duplicate blueprints, open compliance and commit workflows	Manage templates (unless also a Blueprint Template Editor)

Important role-based behaviors

Home page actions change by role

• Manage Templates appears only when your role allows template governance.

• New Blueprint appears only when your role allows blueprint creation.

• Commit Changes appears only when your role allows commit workflows.

Opening a blueprint depends on your role

• Blueprint Template Editors, Blueprint Editors, and Blueprint Committers open the blueprint in the Blueprint Editor

• Blueprint Viewers open the same blueprint in Presenter Mode

Delete permissions are stricter than edit permissions

• Blueprint Template Editors can delete blueprints

• Blueprint Editors can delete only blueprints they own

• Blueprint Viewers cannot delete blueprints

Where to check your current role

On Home, open your user avatar menu. The app shows the Blueprints roles currently assigned to you.

When something looks wrong

If you expected to see an action and it is missing:

1. Check your role in the avatar menu

2. Refresh the app if your access was changed recently

3. Contact your ServiceNow administrator if the role assignment still looks incorrect
