Do you have multiple developers working in the same instance? If so, there's a good chance that on at least several occasions, one of them has "stolen" an update/record from another. I'll explain what I mean by way of an example:

Developer A is working on a project that involves changing a script include.
Developer B, working in parallel on a separate task, also changes the script include.
The update sets are pushed. Depending on the order, at least one developer is likely to see results in production that they do not expect based on their development.

So, how can we prevent these kinds of conflicts/confusion?

What if we could alert a developer whenever they're viewing a record that is captured in another active update set, that does not belong to them--

If you're a ServiceNow Admin, chances are you get lots of tickets from people asking you to grant or revoke access to this or that.
Sure, onboarding and offboarding, and some basic permissions work, can be automated -- but sometimes you just don't have a catalog item for what the user is requesting, so you have to do it manually.

So if you're like me, you get these tickets all the time:

"Jerry doesn't have access to the same applications as the rest of our team. Please add him to whatever groups he requires to do his job. Nerd."

Unless you're intimately familiar with Jerry's job, you're going to need some more information to go off of. I normally ask for the ID of another user whose access I can clone, and then open each profile on a separate monitor and go through each group one at a time. I once did 77 groups this way, for two separate users. It was a nightmare...
