# Close a remediation task

If you determine that the issue associated with a remediation task can be immediately closed without further analysis, you can use the **Close** feature.

## Before you begin

Role required:

-   sn\_vulc.admin
-   sn\_vulc.remediation\_owner

    **Note:** With the sn\_vulc.remediation\_owner role, you can reassign or close remediation tasks that are assigned to you or to your assignment groups.


## About this task

Starting with v15.0 of Configuration Compliance, the **Close** button has been removed for a remediation task.

When you resolve a remediation task, the resolution notes reflects in the work notes of all its test results.

## Procedure

1.  Open the remediation task record.

2.  Select the **Close** button.

3.  Describe why the issue is being closed in the pop-up window.

4.  Select **Close**.
