For instructions on how to access this table, see [Find components installed with an application](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/brazil/markdown/platform-administration/find-components.md).

Demo data is available for this feature.

**Note:** Starting with the Brazil release, on zBoot instances, the sn\_dex\_desktop.notification\_template\_admin role is removed from the communication plan viewer \[sn\_comm\_management.comm\_plan\_viewer\] role and added to the sn\_incident\_write role when the ITSM Roles plugin \(com.snc.itsm.roles\) is installed. If the ITSM Roles plugin \(com.snc.itsm.roles\) isn't installed, the sn\_dex\_desktop.notification\_template\_admin role is added to the itil role.


</td></tr></tbody>
</table>**Note:** For the comm\_channel create and write ACLs, access to create communication channel definitions in incident communication tasks depends on the `commTaskGr.state.canWrite` script and on whether you have one of the following roles:

-   Communication Plan Manager \[sn\_comm\_management.comm\_plan\_mgr\]
-   Communication Plan Admin \[sn\_comm\_management.comm\_plan\_admin\]
-   Task communication management admin \[sn\_tcm\_admin\]
-   ITSM granular roles such as sn\_incident\_write and the user assigned to the incident communication task and plan.
