Setting up Service Desk

Setting up Service Desk

Setting up Service Desk entails setting up roles for Service Desk staff, and configuring ticket and email settings.

Setting up roles for user accounts

Setting up roles for user accounts

Service Desk uses permission-based roles to control access to Service Desk features and information. These roles can be assigned to users automatically when they log in. You can use the default roles, or create roles as needed.

About default roles

About default roles

Default roles are available for standard user account types such as administrator, end-user, and limited-access.

The following roles are available by default. For more information about managing Organizational roles, see Managing Organization Roles and User Roles.

Role

Description

Organization Roles

Organization Roles are supersets of permissions that are assigned to organizations, and they define the permissions that are available to organization users. For example, if an organization is assigned an Organization Role that has the Distribution tab hidden, users in that organization, including the Admin user, cannot access the Distribution tab.

Default Role

The Default Role in the Organization Roles section has Write and Read permission for all tabs. You can create additional Organization Roles, but you cannot edit or delete the Default Role.

User Roles

Roles assigned to users to control their access to the Administrator Console and User Console. If the Organization component is enabled on your appliance, the permissions available to these roles depends on the Organization Role assigned to the organization.

Administrator

The most powerful user role on the appliance. By default, users with the Administrator role have permission to see or change information and settings. This includes promoting or demoting other users by changing their roles. The Administrator role cannot be altered or deleted. Assign this role only to trusted administrators.

Staff members assigned the Administrator role have permission to manage and modify Service Desk tickets from the Tickets tab in the Administrator Console, though they might not be able to own tickets themselves.

Users with the Administrator role can also use the security, scripting, and distribution features to resolve Service Desk tickets, then document the issues in the Knowledge Base.

The Administrator role primarily interacts with the appliance through the Administrator Console.

No Access

Users with this role cannot log on to the Administrator Console or User Console.

Read Only Administrator

This role has the ability to view but not change any information or settings in the appliance. This role is useful for oversight personnel, such as supervisors.

This role primarily interacts with the appliance through the Administrator Console.

User Console Only

This role is for appliance users. By default, this role has permission to create, view, and modify Service Desk tickets.

This role interacts with the appliance exclusively through the User Console.

Create a Service Desk staff role

Create a Service Desk staff role

You can create a Service Desk staff role to establish permissions for users who work on Service Desk settings and components.

By default, users with the Administrator role have permission to change all Service Desk components, including creating and removing users. In addition, you can create a more limited Service Desk role for your organization. Users with this role have permission to work on tickets, add items that can be downloaded from the User Console, add articles to the Knowledge Base, and manage announcements that appear on the User Console home page. However, they do not manage users, run reports, or change appliance settings. This guide refers to this group as Service Desk Admin.

If the Organization component is enabled on your appliance, you can create separate Service Desk Admin roles for each organization.
