What is the minimum role required for creating a Risk Response in ServiceNow?

The minimum role required for creating a Risk Response in ServiceNow is indeed the role designated as sn_risk.user. This role provides users with the necessary permissions to engage with risk management functionalities, including the ability to create responses to identified risks.

In the context of the ServiceNow platform, the sn_risk.user role is specifically tailored for users who need to interact with risk management processes, enabling them to effectively contribute to the risk response lifecycle. This role ensures that users can both view and edit risk records, which is essential for developing appropriate responses.

While other roles might grant varying levels of access or functionality within the Risk and Compliance module, they are not the minimum requirement for initiating a Risk Response. For instance, roles like sn_risk.reader would typically limit users to only viewing risks without the ability to modify or respond to them, which is not suitable for the task of creating a Risk Response. Therefore, the sn_risk.user role is specifically positioned as the foundational role needed for conducting risk response activities.
