Control access to ticket forms in the Support Portal

Author: Siva Raman

We’ve enhanced the ticket forms on the Support Portal, enabling specific groups or companies to access different forms.

You can fine tune access to the ticket forms in the Support Portal. You can choose the visibility to be:

All visitors of the Support Portal: Anyone can create tickets in the Support Portal without needing to sign in.
Only signed in users of the Support Portal: Only authorized users who have signed into the portal can access ticket forms and create tickets. Users who have this access can also monitor ticket statuses in the support portal.
Support Portal signed in users from specific companies: This access provides the opportunity to make different forms accessible to certain defined groups or companies.

Click on the ‘Add Ticket Form’ button found at the top.

Let’s say you want to create and display the ‘IT Form’ only to ‘Support Portal signed in users from specified companies’. You can easily do that by choosing the appropriate company and clicking on the ‘Save’ button.

Choose ‘Kanidesk Systems’ as the company and click on the ‘Save’ button.
