+# Extract User Roles from JSON
+
+---
+
+## Overview
+This ServiceNow background script takes a JSON of usernames and their titles (roles) and groups all roles under each **unique user**.  
+It prints the result in the **System Logs** in ServiceNow. This helps admins quickly see **unique users and all their roles**, avoiding duplicates.
+
+---
+
+## Use Case
+For example, if a user appears multiple times with different roles:
+
+- `tammie.schwartzwalde` appears as both:
+  - Senior Auditor
+  - Payroll Generalist  
+
+The script will show **all roles together** for that user, without repeating duplicates.
+
+---
+
+## Script Details
+
+| Field | Value |
+|-------|-------|
+| Table | N/A (JSON based) |
+| Type | Background Script |
+| Author | Sachin Narayanasamy |
+| Language | JavaScript (GlideRecord) |
+
+---
+
+## Logic Flow
+1. Define the JSON array of user details.  
+2. Create an object to hold **unique users** and their roles.  
+3. Loop through each JSON entry:
+   - Trim and validate the title.
+   - Add it to the user's array if it doesn’t already exist.  
+4. Log each user and their unique roles.  
+5. Display the total number of unique users.
+
+---
+
+## Example Output
+User: dennis.millar having Role(s): Account Exec Northeast
+User: ashley.parker having Role(s): Director
+User: steve.schorr having Role(s): Investigations Generalist
+User: tammie.schwartzwalde having Role(s): Senior Auditor, Payroll Generalist
+User: tommy.tom having Role(s): Tester
+Total unique users: 5
