Catch the episode Debug ACLs in ServiceNow Like a Pro with Access Analyzer Managing access controls in ServiceNow can be complicated. Creating ACLs, data filters, and ensuring users have the proper permissions for various tasks requires meticulous configuration and testing. Access Analyzer, a new feature in the ServiceNow platform, provides an intuitive interface to analyze user and role access without impersonating users or elevating to security admin.

We have spent some time recently, through both blogs and Live Coding Happy Hour, diving into the Now Experience UI Framework launched in the Orlando release. Since we may not be coming back to that subject on the show for a little while I’m going to do a quick recap on what we’ve learned so far through the three episodes we’ve done on Now Experience Components and share some helpful resources.

These can be and often are four different timezones! Can we use Moment.js to help?

Specifically, the involved generation of the signature in order to validate the request is the main thrust of this session. We begin with two requests that outwardly seem the same and work through why they signatures first are different and then generate different results between using NodeJS and the integration from a ServiceNow instance.

The focus this episode is to take the working frame of the widget and give it a little fit and finish to make it look more presentable using CSS. We add count badges, style them and work on styling the text of the widget.
