When configuring a module, what does the Override application menu roles configuration option do?

Checkbox tooltip: "Show this module when the user has the specified roles. Otherwise the user must

have the roles specified by both the application menu and the module."

The following is true for the Override application menu roles configuration option when configuring a

module:

Users with the module role but without access to the application menu access the module. This is

true because the Override application menu roles option allows users to bypass the application

menu role requirement and access the module directly if they have the module role. For example, if

a module has the itil role and the Override application menu roles option enabled, and the

application menu has the admin role, then a user who has the itil role but not the admin role can still

access the module.

The following are not true for the Override application menu roles configuration option when

configuring a module:

Self-Service users can access the module even though they do not have roles. This is false because

the Override application menu roles option does not grant access to the module to users who do not

have any roles. Self-Service users are users who do not have any roles assigned to them and can only

access the Self-Service portal and the Knowledge Base. To access the module, users need to have at

least the module role.

Admin is given access to the module even if Access Controls would ordinarily prevent access. This is

false because the Override application menu roles option does not override the Access Control (ACL)

rules that apply to the module. Access Control rules are used to restrict the access to the data and

functionality of the ServiceNow platform based on the user’s roles and conditions. Admin is a role
