Connect to ServiceNow

You can connect Harness to ServiceNow using a Harness ServiceNow connector. This connector allows you to approve and reject pipeline steps.

Important notes

  • Your ServiceNow account should ideally have the admin role. If this is not possible, it should have at least the itil_admin or itil role to create and modify tickets.
  • Your account should also have the import_admin or import_transformer role to manage import set transform maps. For details, go to ServiceNow's Base System Roles documentation.
  • Your ServiceNow REST API account must have permission to view tickets.
