D: resource_user
Correct Answer:
A. it_project_portfolio_user; C. resource_manager
Explanation

In ServiceNow PPM, resource utilization and availability reports are accessible to users with appropriate portfolio and resource management roles. The itprojectportfoliouser role provides access to portfolio-level reporting capabilities including resource analytics. The resourcemanager role specifically grants permissions to view, analyze, and manage resource utilization data across projects and portfolios. These roles have the necessary access rights to resource planning workspaces and reporting modules where utilization metrics are displayed.

Why Incorrect

B. ppsresource - This is a resource record identifier, not an actual role that grants reporting access.
D. resourceuser - This role has limited permissions focused on individual resource tasks, not comprehensive utilization reporting access.
