# Using Access Analyzer

Analyze identities and their access on the ServiceNow AI Platform instance.

## Before you begin

Role required: access\_analyzer\_admin

Note that access\_analyzer\_admin is a granular role. For more information about granular roles, see [Platform security granular admin roles](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/platform-security/platsec-granular-roles.md).

A user needs additional roles \(such as admin\) to be able to modify ACL records, user records, or other sources.

The following procedure describes the steps for accessing Access Analyzer and using its various features.

**Note:** Access Analyzer is a ServiceNow AI Platform Store product.

## Procedure

1.  Navigate to **All** > **Access Analyzer** > **Analyze Permissions**.

    Access Analyzer has the following capabilities:
