SNOW-CSA Application Rules, ACL and Notifications Practice Question
An administrator wants to create a notification that sends an email to the 'Assignment group' members whenever an incident is assigned to that group. Which of the following should the administrator configure in the notification's 'Who will receive' list?
⚠ Common exam trap
Watch out — candidates often confuse 'Group members (on the record)' with 'Assignment group members', not realizing that ServiceNow treats these as separate fields with different notification behaviors, and the question specifically requires notification based on the 'Assignment group' field.

Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Assignment group members
The 'Assignment group members' option in the notification's 'Who will receive' list dynamically resolves to all users who are members of the group currently populated in the 'Assignment group' field on the incident record. This ensures that when an incident is assigned to a specific group, every member of that group receives the email notification, which matches the administrator's requirement exactly.
