Set up the client admin roles

You can set up a client admin to open tickets on behalf of other clients for a remote location or department. If the client tickets include service requests, incidents, and problem tickets that require additional diagnosis and intervention, the client admin can report these issues to management for problem resolution.

The client admin does not require a user license, but cannot act as a tech within the Web Help Desk deployment.

  2. Click New.
  3. In the Role Name field, enter a name for this role.
  4. In the Request Type Supported row, select the appropriate role check boxes.

    These request types populate with the Request Types you defined at Tickets > Request Types.
