SNOW-CSA Reporting, SLA and Imports Practice Question
Which role is required to create a report in the Reporting module?
⚠ Common exam trap
ServiceNow often tests the distinction between report_user and report_admin, where candidates mistakenly assume that report_user can create reports because it allows running them, but creation requires the higher-privileged report_admin role.
Answer choices
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
✓
report_admin
The report_admin role is required to create reports in the Reporting module because it grants full administrative permissions over reports, including creation, editing, and deletion. The report_user role only allows viewing and running existing reports, not creating new ones.
