We need more flexible options for limiting visibility of solution folders to a group of unrelated people in our company. 

Use case: We have a team of people spread throughout our organization (In Freshservice, this team includes both agents and requestors, some are members of workspaces and some are not) that need access to solutions within a particular folder. 

Since agents are considered separate from requestors in Freshservice, we can’t create a Requestor Group that includes agents who need visibility to the folder. We also can’t do a combination of Visible to a certain Requestor Group and Managed by an Agent Group because not all agents that need access to the folder are members of the workspace that manages the solutions in the folder. 

We also do not want to create a Workspace just to limit visibility. 

Some potential fixes for this could be:

  • Allow us to add Agents to a Requestor group (that way we wouldn’t be limited by workspace agent groups and can add agents individually)
  • Allow multiple criteria to be selected in the Visible to field where you could choose both Agent and Requestor groups
  • Create a new option like Custom Group that would allow us more flexibility in choosing who can be placed in the group

upvoted!  Please add this functionality.  We also need a little more granularity on visiblity permissions.  Adding the ability to add requestor groups AND agent groups to a folder would be really helpful.

Commenting again in a attempt to push this as it seems a major flaw in my view.

We have no option but to fully allow all agent visibility to solution/knowledgebase folders where the visibility is set by contact group. Our use-case is that not all agents should have access to numerous folders or articles that are also contact facing.

The idea needs to be reviewed, worked and implemented - or another solution needs to be communicated.

 

My recent revisit of testing this has pretty much confirmed that if the visibility setting is set to requester groups, by default this grants all agents access to the folder. These does not appear to be away to restirct the agent group access.
