Scenario without Smart Role Management:

A user is a member of several Active Directory groups and partially directly in Service Manager roles. In order to find out why this user sees and can use certain views, tasks, etc. in the SCSM, all roles in the SCSM must be opened individually and searched for a long time.

Scenario with Smart Role Management:

With Smart Role Management, only the username needs to be entered in the user search, and within a few seconds all roles in which the user is directly or indirectly member are displayed.
