Set up the support staff and support teams who are given access by the help desk to create and edit tickets. Support teams should be seen as virtual help desk support that is available for responding to tickets. Assign the staff to the support teams. Membership in support teams determines the tickets displayed for the currently logged in help desk staff member. All the tickets that a staff member has processed, and the tickets that other members of their support team have processed, are displayed.
The help desk login has to take place through an identity related authentication module. Thus identities who are going work on the help desk are issued with a system user. viHelpdesk is supplied as the default system user. This system user has the necessary permissions and the user interface to use the Manager to access the help desk resources.
