In ServiceNow,Record Producersallow users to create records in tables through a user-friendly interface in the Service Catalog. Since the goal is to enableonly first-line workersto order the T-shirt, we need to control access based on their role.
ARecord Producerin the Service Catalog is the best way to gather user input (size, color, etc.) and create a new order record in the system.
The"Available For"list allows administrators to restrict access to specificusers or roles.
TheFirst Line [sn_first_line]role is explicitly designed to includeonly first-line workerswhile excluding managers.
Why is Option A Correct?Why Are the Other Options Incorrect?B. Create Catalog Item and use the Not Available list to specify the Manager Group
Catalog Itemsare valid for this use case but using the"Not Available For"list is a less effective approach.
If newmanager rolesorgroupsare added in the future, this method won’t automatically exclude them.
It’s better toexplicitly definewho can access the item rather than relying on exclusions.
C. Create Catalog Item and use the Available For list to specify ITIL [itil] role
TheITIL roleis typically assigned to Service Desk personnel and IT staff,not first-line workers.
This approach would allowmany unintended usersto request the T-shirt.
D. Create Order Guide and use the User Criteria list to specify First Line [sn_first_line] role
Order Guidesare used to bundle multiple catalog items and guide users through a complex ordering process.
Since this scenario only involves asingle item (T-shirt request),using an Order Guide is unnecessary.
