An IT user calls the service desk because his work needs to be completed on ask records. All he can see a Self Service on his homepage when he logs in to the ServiceNow instance. What issue could…

If the user account failed LDAP authentication, they would not be able to log in at all and would not see any homepage.

If a user account does not belong to any groups that contain the `itil` role, they will lack the necessary permissions to access IT-specific modules and functionality. Without the `itil` role, the user's interface will typically default to a self-service view.

Manager approval for a user account typically relates to onboarding processes or access requests, not directly to what modules are visible after logging in successfully.

While true that lacking the ITIL role causes this, option B (not belonging to groups with the ITIL role) is a common way this occurs, and option E describes a distinct technical issue related to the login session itself, making B and E more comprehensive as two distinct reasons.

If a user account is not logged in properly, for instance due to session corruption, authentication issues, or incomplete profile loading, the system might fail to grant or recognize their assigned roles. This can result in a restricted view, such as only seeing the Self Service homepage, despite potentially having the correct roles.
