Daniel Nespoli Posted May 3, 2018 Posted May 3, 2018 Good afternoon, Yesterday afternoon we noticed that analysts from all our services now have the option to be able to cancel ticket requests. Has anyone else noticed this? Any advice will be greatly appreciated. Cheers.
Daniel Nespoli Posted May 3, 2018 Author Posted May 3, 2018 It appears as though this only applies to Service Requests and not Incidents. Our Analysts all have the 'Service Request User' Security Setting assigned to them but it's as though they have the 'Service Request Full Access' permission.
Victor Posted May 3, 2018 Posted May 3, 2018 @Daniel Nespoli the "Self Service User" gives this right. This is a result of a recent change which allows cancellation of service requests from the service or customer portal... but not sure if this is supposed to make the cancel action visible in the user app (via this role)... I've asked dev team to feedback on this. Can you confirm if your analysts have this role ("Self Service User") associated to them? If so, it is a bit odd I would say, not sure why a full user would need this role in your instance?
James Ainsworth Posted May 3, 2018 Posted May 3, 2018 Hi @Daniel Nespoli We are also looking to define more rights which will provide a greater separation between actions done in Self Service to actions done in the main Service Manager view. This work isn't currently schedule to start yet, but hopefully we should see some movement on this before too long. I've added you to the change and linked this post so that we can update you once some progress has been made. Regards, James
Daniel Nespoli Posted May 8, 2018 Author Posted May 8, 2018 Good morning both, Thank you both for your replies. To confirm, our analysts do have the 'Self Service User' and always have done. Thanks again. Dan
Victor Posted May 8, 2018 Posted May 8, 2018 @Daniel Nespoli any chance you can remove this role for your full users? Still not sure why you need it, but I might be missing something here...
Daniel Nespoli Posted May 10, 2018 Author Posted May 10, 2018 Hi Victor, Thank you. We were under the impression our full users needed this role in order to raise their own tickets as a user on our self service portal. This doesn't appear to be the case! Thanks again. Dan
Victor Posted May 10, 2018 Posted May 10, 2018 1 minute ago, Daniel Nespoli said: We were under the impression our full users needed this role in order to raise their own tickets as a user on our self service portal. You are correct here. I mean in order to user the portal, a user would need this role. However, unlike basic users, a full user has access to the user app (the "live" interface so to speak). So, personally I don't see why a full user would use the portal when they can use the user app... However I understand there might be scenarios when this is the case (but I just can't think of any) 4 minutes ago, Daniel Nespoli said: This doesn't appear to be the case! This most likely because your full users already have the required rights needed to use the portal given by other roles assigned to them. In any case I understand the issue is sorted?!
Daniel Nespoli Posted May 10, 2018 Author Posted May 10, 2018 That's great - thanks for the explanation! All sorted Cheers, Dan
James Ainsworth Posted September 20, 2018 Posted September 20, 2018 We have recently provided some updates to the rights to give more of a separation between the actions that can be done on the Self Service Portals and those that can be done withing Service Manager. This should help support the issues identified above where there was a conflict when removing the right for a support person to cancel a request which was overridden by a Self Service roll that contained the right to cancel a request as a customer on the portals. Now having these as separate rights, this should eliminate this conflict.
