# ConfigBot for ServiceNow – Impact Analysis Security - Groups with Same Role

Sometimes multiple groups in a ServiceNow instance may share the same role and identifying them manually requires opening each record one by one. Using the **Impact Analysis – Security: Group with Same Role** module, we can easily identify and analyze all groups that have identical roles assigned. This helps in auditing, managing access, and ensuring security compliance across the instance efficiently. 
The following article explains how to identify and analyze groups in your instance that share the same role using **ConfigBot’s Impact Analysis Security** module. 

**Step 1: Log in to ConfigBot** 

Enter your **username** and **password**, then click **Submit** to log in.
