Helpdesk Ticket Watcher Access

Helpdesk projects and teams control which tickets a Helpdesk agent can access. By default, when tickets are transferred between projects, agents who previously worked on the tickets lose access if they are not a member of the new project.

With watcher ticket access settings, admins can allow watchers on a ticket to continue to have access to the ticket even if they are not part of a team with access to project. 


How to change Watcher Ticket Access Settings

From Helpdesk project settings pages, admins can define project level permissions for ticket watchers. Go to Settings > Project > Project Name, and change the setting title "Watchers" in the first section. The setting options include:

  1. Must be added to the project - Agent watchers on the ticket have No access to the ticket unless they are part of a team with access to the project. (i.e. default settings)
  2. View only - Agent watchers on the ticket can view (not edit) the Helpdesk ticket, even without being on a team assigned to the project.
  3. Edit access - Agent watchers on the ticket can edit the Helpdesk ticket, even without being on a team assigned to the project.
