Is it possible to restrict an agent to only view and manage tickets for one company? 


We have clients that handle their own first line support then would need to escalate issues to us but we want it all in one system so we can still track whats happening.

Fraser,


Assigning tickets coming from company ABC to Agent A and limiting the ticket scope of the Agent A to "Restricted Access" should help you achieve this. 


Steps to create Dispatch'r rule:

1) Goto Admin>Dispatcher > New Rule

2) Set condition as "Company Name" "Is" "Atlantic"  [You can also add the same condition again and specifiy a different company]

3) Set Action as "Assign to Agent" ; Select Agent "A"


You will have to create a new rule for every company/ groups of companies that you want an agent to handle.


For limiting scope:

1)Go to Admin>Agent

2) Click Edit for the Agent A

3) Select Scope - Restricted Access


Agent A will be able to assign the ticket to a different group for escalations. Let me know if this works.

Could i get some assistance with this? I've done as you've advised however the agent (internal IT staff) at the client can see our customer list. Can we restrict this somehow?

We would also like to restrict the autocomplete suggestion contact list in the ticket creation.

Is there a solution yet? I need to restrict one agent only to see contacts for one specific company, but he still must be able to add new contacts.
