Full set: 136 questions
Answer options
A: Profile Writer [sn_hr_core.profile_writer] Correct answer
B: Profile Reader [sn_hr_core.profile_reader]
C: HR Case Writer [sn_hr_le.case_writer]
D: HR Case Reader [sn_hr_le.case_reader]
Correct Answer:
A. Profile Writer [sn_hr_core.profile_writer]
Explanation

In ServiceNow HR Service Delivery, the HR Profile table (snhrcore.profile) contains confidential employee data. Access to this table follows the principle of least privilege. The Profile Writer role [snhrcore.profilewriter] is the minimum role required to view confidential data on HR Profiles. This role inherently includes read permissions along with write capabilities. The Profile Reader role has restricted access and cannot view fields marked as confidential, while HR Case roles are specifically scoped to case management functionality and do not grant access to HR Profile confidential data.

Why Incorrect

B. Profile Reader role has read-only access but excludes confidential fields by design.
C. HR Case Writer role is limited to case management objects, not HR Profile data.
D. HR Case Reader role only provides read access to HR cases, not employee profiles.
