mojahidm Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 Hi team, I have a rather urgent issue that we just noticed and I was hoping for some assistance. We are planning to go live with UK this week and because it works a little differently hadn't noticed a particular snag. Only certain individuals are allowed to raise Service Requests. We wanted to limit visibility for this and the catalog visibility option appeared to be exactly what we needed. However, we noticed that if the organisation the individual is at is excluded from viewing the catalog item, then the individual cannot see it either: The Mojahid Darlington account cannot see the 'Create Report' Catalog Item, unless the Darlington organisation is set to Included as well. This would mean that all others within the Darlington organisation would be able to view the Service Request CI. It makes sense, as the deny rule would take precedence over the allow rule, but it does throw a snag in how we were hoping to work. Is there any advice that you can give to us as a workaround? We have a lot of organisations with a good number of contacts in them. It isn't really feasible to have all contacts within an organisation added to the service and then excluding the ones that shouldn't be able to view the SR CIs, which is the only workaround I could think of... Many Thanks, Mojahid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmandoDM Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 Hi @mojahidm the contact should be able to see the catalog. I will report this issue to the relevant team in order to fix it. Unfortunately I cannot see any easy workaround to this, unless you create a new service with catalog and subscribe the contact ?

mojahidm Posted October 30, 2018 Author Share Posted October 30, 2018 Hi @ArmandoDM, did you know if there was a timeframe for this fix? Our Go-live is on Thursday. I believe we can wait a bit before having to try a workaround, but it would help set expectations for our users/customers if we had an idea of how long it might take to fix Many thanks, Mojahid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmandoDM Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Hi @mojahidm the fix will be released with the next build, which will be this week or the beginning of the next week. Regards Armando Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi @ArmandoDM Could you please clarify that the 'fix' which will be in the next update means that we'll be able to give visibility to a CI on an individual level, without having to add ALL individuals to the 'included' and then marking everyone else as 'excluded'? We have some services subscribed to by everyone which have a CI which should only be visible by certain individuals, but we haven't come across a way to do this using the current subscription options..... thanks Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmandoDM Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Hi @Paul Alexander yes. If your service is subscribed by a contact individually, then the contact 'will/will not' see the CI depending if he's 'included/excluded'. The individual subscription has priority over the subscription through an Organisation or All Contacts. Hope this answer your question.

Guest Paul Alexander Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Hi @ArmandoDM That's perfect thanks....and I think that's going to be a really good update for us...it means we can now start sorting out our Service and CI's to be a lot more accessible for our users. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paul Alexander Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Hi @ArmandoDM I see there's been an update released for setting the visibility of CI's which I've just installed and have tried setting visibility options again. I have a CI (Number One) that I'd like to show to an individual (Paul), but not to his full team (IT Department). I have another CI (Number Two) under the same service that I'd like to be visible to his full team So, under the Service I've added IT Department as a subscriber. Number One CI I've gone into the visibility options and 'Excluded' the IT Department and 'Included' Paul - Paul cannot see the CI (I was hoping that this would work! Is there a way of getting this working that I'm not thinking of?) Number Two CI I've changed the visibility options and 'Included' the IT Department and 'Excluded' Paul - Paul cannot see the CI (I understand this bit and this is what i'd expect) I understand that these visibility options have to come from the Service itself, but is there a way to subscribe individuals even if that person's department (or role or group) is excluded? Hope that makes sense... thanks Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmandoDM Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 Hello @Paul Alexander the update released on Monday was referring to CIs visibility for Contacts and Organisations, no Departments (and groups in general) and Coworkers. We have another change in the pipeline to cater for CIs visibility for groups, sub-groups and coworkers, to which you are already subscribed.
