ServiceNow · OAuth Scopes

ServiceNow OAuth Scopes

OAuth 2.0 derived

ServiceNow uses OAuth 2.0 but publishes no discrete scopes — access is governed by the grant itself (e.g. client-credentials or role-based authorization) rather than per-scope consent.

Tokens are issued from https://{instance}.service-now.com/oauth_token.do.

This index is generated from the provider’s OpenAPI security definitions (and, where available, its documented scope reference) and refreshes on every APIs.io network build. Browse every provider’s scopes at scopes.apis.io.

ServiceNow implements OAuth 2.0 but publishes no discrete scopes — access is governed by the grant itself (client-credentials or role-based authorization) rather than per-scope consent.

ServiceNow does not publish a catalog of OAuth scopes — tokens use the default useraccount scope with access governed by the user's roles and ACLs, and any granular REST API Auth Scopes are custom-defined per instance by administrators (https://www.servicenow.com/docs/r/platform-security/authentication/rest-api-auth-scope.html).
