Getting Started with ServiceNow
Give your users a seamless employee experience with SailPoint apps on ServiceNow, when your de-facto application for requesting and approving requests is ServiceNow.
The SailPoint apps on ServiceNow provide an easy-to-implement, out-of-the-box Identity and Access Management interface with ServiceNow.
The SailPoint apps are published in the ServiceNow store and provide multiple integration options, based on your business case.
Identity Governance
Sync user data between SailPoint and ServiceNow.
- Users with a Virtual Appliance can refer to Integrating SailPoint with ServiceNow Identity Governance for detailed information.
- Users without a Virtual Appliance (also referred to as a SaaS connector) can refer to Integrating SailPoint with Identity Governance SaaS for detailed information.
Service Desk
Raise ServiceNow requests for disconnected applications from SailPoint. Requests can be configured according to your organization's policies and to the features available in ServiceNow.
Refer to Integrating SailPoint with ServiceNow Service Desk for detailed information.
Service Catalog
Users can raise requests from ServiceNow, and approvers can approve requests within ServiceNow. Requests for access can be raised for requestable roles, access profiles, and entitlements after Separation of Duties checks, and according to the approval process defined within ServiceNow. Provisioning is initiated in SailPoint, and the status is updated against the request once completed.
Refer to Integrating Identity Security Cloud with ServiceNow Service Catalog for detailed information.
SailPoint Service Catalog AI Assistant

Integrating SailPoint with ServiceNow Service Catalog
Integration
This is an integration and requires additional licensing or subscriptions to utilize it. For more information, contact your customer success manager.
Note
SailPoint Identity Security is SailPoint's next-generation identity security solution. It encompasses and builds on features and functions from IdentityNow. The product documentation covers both SailPoint Identity Security and IdentityNow features. You may see instances of IdentityNow or Identity Security Cloud in your UI or in the ServiceNow app store for some time.
The ServiceNow Portal Integration for Identity Security Cloud enables you to easily add and remove access from ServiceNow accounts. The account information available in ServiceNow is correlated to an identity in SailPoint. You can view the roles and access profiles associated with the identity and use them to manage access.
The ServiceNow Certification Portal for Identity Security Cloud enables designated people to review users' access to your enterprise systems and data. Certifiers determine whether the access is appropriate for those users or if access should be revoked. Certifiers will review certifications, approve or revoke access, and sign off on decisions.
The ServiceNow Service Portal Integration for SailPoint is a ServiceNow app available in the ServiceNow store. For more information about requesting SailPoint apps from the ServiceNow Store, refer to How To Experience SailPoint Apps.
Note
To view the latest features, enhancements, and fixes for all SaaS connectors, refer to the SaaS Release Notes page.
Note
Integrating with the ServiceNow Portal is different than using the SailPoint for Service Desk integration that converts SailPoint provisioning activity into tickets in ServiceNow, and requires a SailPoint ServiceNow ServiceDesk license.
Prerequisites
- A supported SailPoint platform - an instance of SailPoint with access requests enabled that you're authorized to access as an administrator.
- A supported version of ServiceNow that you're authorized to access as an administrator or to appropriate roles.
- A source of ServiceNow accounts that SailPoint can load account information from, so each account can be associated with an identity and access for each identity can be governed.
- Permission to manage OAuth 2.0 client applications in ServiceNow.
- The endpoint URL of your SailPoint tenant and a supported method for securely connecting to it, such as a Personal Access Token.
- After you've configured SailPoint, configure ServiceNow to integrate with the platform.
- After you've configured SailPoint, configure SailPoint event triggers. This is mandatory from version 5.4. Refer to Configuring ISC Event Triggers for more information.
