Create and manage technicians

Click here for an overview on adding technicians

Create accounts for new technicians, configure their permissions and default settings, and adjust permissions as needed for existing technicians. From the Technicians management section of the Admin Area, you can enable or disable technicians as needed, and grant or take away permissions. This is helpful for setting up new technicians, or a quick downgrade or upgrade to a technician's account.

You can also add end users as Dameware Remote Everywhere users and limit their access permissions to specific areas of your account. Use the Permissions tab to control access globally, or just in the Admin Area or Tech Console.

  1. Navigate to ManagementTechnicians > Add .
  2. Enter the name, username (email address) and set an expiration date for the new technician.
  3. Select Configure as End User to create an end user account, and select Force Two Factor Authentication Usage to enable two factor authentication. Click Save.
  4. Enter a password for the new user, choose a time zone, date/time format, language, add the technician's picture and select the departments to which the technician belongs.
  5. Passwords must comply with the following conditions: 8 to 32 characters, at least one upper-case letter, at least one lower case letter, at least one number.

  6. Navigate to the Permissions tab and select a Permissions Template to apply a set of pre-configured permissions to new or existing users, or choose specific options to customize the user's Global access.
    • Session Creation controls the generation of PIN Codes and Calling Card codes from the Console (a user with access to the Admin Area can also create Calling Cards from the Console).
    • My Computers Management gives the technician access to the list of computers in the technician console. Turn Access to My Computers on, and select the Computer Groups the technician can access. Select Can edit Computer/Group Customer Details to allow the technician to add computers and computer groups, or edit existing computer information.
    • Miscellaneous governs the kick out of technicians, the visibility of tickets, access to internal and external chat, the actions on tickets and also the ability to automatically log in to the Admin Area from the Console.

      If your account reaches the maximum number of simultaneous technicians online, select the Can disconnect any other techs and Can be disconnected options. This disconnects one of the online technicians and provides room for another technician to log in.

  7. Navigate to the Admin Area section of the Permissions tab and select which areas of the Admin Area the technician can access, or select a Permissions Template.
  8. Navigate to the Console Features section and select on or off to define granular permissions or deny access to certain product features. These are divided into three sections:
    • Feature Access restricts the functionality of specific features during a support session. This section also defines if the remote user can disable features during a support session, or cancel support requests that are waiting in queues visible to them.
    • Session History grants access to all past sessions, only sessions belonging to the technician, or denies access.
    • Miscellaneous controls access to Deferred Support Requests and Inter-technician chat, as well as the ability to auto log in to the Admin Area and chat with clients.
  9. Navigate to the Default Settings tab, and select which requests the technician will receive, the default queue for their support requests, and their video recording settings. In the Admin Area section, turn Remote Control Mode on or off for the technician. Click Save to apply the changes to the technician.
