What is the minimum role required to approve a Policy?

The minimum role required to approve a policy in ServiceNow is associated with the compliance framework, where specific roles dictate the permissions users have within risk and compliance processes. The correct answer emphasizes that the 'sn_compliance user' role is tailored for individuals who need to engage with and approve compliance-related documentation.

Users assigned the 'sn_compliance user' role have the necessary permissions to participate in and manage compliance tasks, including the approval of policies. This role is specifically designed to allow the user to fulfill compliance responsibilities while ensuring that sensitive functions remain restricted to those with appropriate managerial or administrative roles.

In contrast, other roles like 'sn_grc admin' and 'sn_compliance manager' provide higher-level permissions suited for administrative tasks and oversight, rather than direct policy approval. Similarly, the 'sn_grc user' role may limit permissions related to compliance activities, making it unsuitable for the approval process specifically mentioned in the question. It is the granularity of the permission structure in ServiceNow's Risk and Compliance module that enables the designated roles to function effectively, aligning the responsibilities with the right users.
