Who is able to move a Policy into Review?

The ability to move a Policy into Review is designated for the policy approver. This role is critical in the governance process of risk and compliance management, as it ensures that policies undergo necessary scrutiny and validation before they are finalized. The policy approver typically has the authority to assess the policy's content, compliance with applicable regulations, and alignment with the organization's objectives. This role also serves as a checkpoint to maintain the standards of the policy frameworks in place.

While other roles such as the system administrator or policy owner have significant responsibilities within the ServiceNow platform, they do not specifically hold the authority to initiate the review process for policies. The policy reviewer, meanwhile, plays a role in assessing policies but does not have the authority to move them into the review state. Thus, the policy approver is specifically tasked with this critical function within the policy lifecycle management.
