Which role is needed to add an NVD data feed?

The role of Vulnerability Admin is essential for adding an NVD (National Vulnerability Database) data feed because this role typically encompasses the necessary permissions and capabilities to manage vulnerability response configurations. The Vulnerability Admin is responsible for overseeing the entire vulnerability management process, which includes integrating external data sources such as the NVD into the ServiceNow platform. This ensures that the organization can effectively identify and assess vulnerabilities based on the latest threat intelligence and data available.

In contrast, while the other roles like Vulnerability Analyst, Security Officer, and Compliance Manager each have important responsibilities within the context of security and compliance, they generally do not possess the administrative permissions needed to configure data feeds and system settings. For instance, a Vulnerability Analyst might focus on the analysis and response to identified vulnerabilities, but they lack the authority to set up or modify foundational system integrations. Similarly, a Security Officer and Compliance Manager typically have broader organizational oversight rather than the specific, technical capabilities required for directly managing vulnerability data feeds.
