Dropzone supports two methods of authentication for this integration: Basic and OAuth Inbound. {% hint style="info" %} If you wish to use Basic authentication, you may skip to the "Enable ServiceNow" section of this document. {% endhint %} ### Create an OAuth Application User To grant Dropzone access to [tables](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/r/washingtondc/api-reference/rest-apis/c_TableAPI.html) for use in analysis, you will need to add a user (either a dedicated Dropzone User or another user) to an [access control list](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/r/platform-security/access-control/exploring-access-control-list.html). Alternatively, you may use an administrative user as your OAuth Application User, which will allow Dropzone access to most organizational data and tables. {% hint style="info" %} If you choose to use an admin user, you may skip to the "Create an OAuth Inbound Integration" section of this document. {% endhint %} #### Create a New Role To create a new role, do the following: * In the top bar of the ServiceNow home page, click "All" * In the search bar, navigate to System Security > Users and Groups > Roles

* Click "New"

* Name the role something memorable, such as "dz\_table\_read" * Click "Submit"

#### Create an Access Control List To create an ACL, do the following: * In the upper right corner, click your icon * Click "Elevate Role"

The user associated with this group will be used as the OAuth Application User. ## Create an OAuth Inbound Integration ServiceNow requires a Client ID and Client Secret to enable. To manage OAuth integrations, you must have access to a user with one of the following roles: oauth\_admin mi\_admin admin To obtain a Client ID and Secret, do the following: * Navigate to All > System OAuth > Inbound Integrations

* In the upper right, click "New Integration" * Select "OAuth - Client Credentials Grant"

* Name the client something memorable, such as "Dropzone AI" * Under OAuth Application User, select the user you assigned earlier * In the "Auth Scopes" section, click "Create auth scope"

* Name the scope something memorable, such as "Dropzone" * Assign the integration the Table API scope

* Click "Submit" * Copy the Client ID and Client secret generated for use later in the Dropzone UI where they are called "Client ID" and "Client Secret" respectively ### Enable ServiceNow To enable the Data Source integration, you will need the following information: | Dropzone Field | Source | | -------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Instance URL | Your ServiceNow instance URL, e.g. yourcompany.service-now\.com | | Username | The username of the admin user you are using.
