Similar to Light Agent in Zendesk. Many companies using Freshdesk - mine included - also use it as their internal support system for ITSM.

 

This means nearly all staff are Collaborators as they may need to be looped in on tickets as Subject Matter experts. Currently the UX is very disjointed. They can only create tickets via email or the customer portal, but can only add (internal) notes via the Agent portal. 

 

Zendesk Light Agents - our former ticketing system, we moved as Freshdesk overall is a better product for our use  - allowed these types of users to create tickets and update them in one portal alone, restricting them to internal notes only. This is a much smoother experience.

Please consider doing this.

Definitely a +1 from me on this. Collaborators is a great addition, but there are some areas where it would really benefit from some improvements. This is one of them (as is the ability for them to change the status (without having to post a note)

Same for me. We use Frehsdesk for internal ticketing as well. Collaborators should be able to create tickets.
