Requirements

What you need in place before installing SN Widget Kit.

Node.js 20+
VS Code 1.85+
A ServiceNow instance you can edit
A user with read/write access to sp_widget (and admin, or a role with read on sys_script_include, for instance IntelliSense)

Integration User recommended for Basic auth

For Basic authentication, a dedicated Integration User keeps credentials separate from your personal account. For SSO/MFA environments, use OAuth 2.0 instead — the extension never sees your password.

Roles & permissions

Pulling and pushing widgets needs read/write on the sp_widget table. Instance IntelliSense (autocomplete for the Script Includes from your own instance) additionally needs read on sys_script_include — typically admin, or a custom role with that grant.

Installation

Install from the Marketplace.

Authentication

Basic vs. OAuth 2.0 (SSO / MFA).
