What role is required, at a minimum, to view confidential HR Profile data?

In ServiceNow HR Service Delivery, confidential HR Profile data requires elevated permissions for security and compliance. The HR Admin [snhrcore.admin] role is the minimum required role that provides access to view confidential employee information, including sensitive HR profile data such as compensation, performance ratings, and personal identification details.

B. HR Basic [snhrcore.basic] - Limited to non-confidential HR data and basic employee information only.
C. LE Admin [snhrle.admin] - Specific to Life Events administration, not general HR profile data access.
D. HR Manager [snhrcore.manager] - Restricted to managing direct reports' data, not all confidential HR profiles.
