Dear Freshworks Team,
We would like to request a feature enhancement in Freshservice related to asset visibility for requesters.
Current Limitation:
Currently, requesters can only view assets that are explicitly assigned to them individually through the “Used by” field. However, assets assigned to a department (via the “Used by: Department” field) are not visible to requesters in that department.
This limitation affects our ability to provide a transparent asset overview to department members, especially for shared equipment like meeting room devices, common laptops, or department-owned hardware.
Feature Request:
We request the ability to configure asset visibility so that:
Requesters can view assets associated with their department, either via the “Used by: Department” field or through department-linked ownership.
This could be implemented as an optional setting under Requester Settings, such as:
"Allow requesters to view assets assigned to their department (via 'Used by: Department')"
Business Value:
-
Improves transparency and accountability within teams
-
Reduces dependency on IT staff to answer asset-related questions
-
Enables more accurate self-service workflows and automation
We believe this would be a valuable addition for many Freshservice users managing assets at scale.
Please let us know if this is on the roadmap or if there's any known workaround.
