Adding and managing user organizations

Your customer user accounts can be grouped into organizations. The e-mail domain filter feature implemented within the user organization module allows you to specify any number of domain names that belong to a particular organization, enabling the system to detect incoming correspondence from an organization. Your support desk can automatically associate your tickets and new user accounts with the organization profile.

You can build profiles of the organizations you deal with, which contains the organization addresses, contact numbers, e-mail addresses and associate SLA plans to them.

1. Click Insert Organization on the Users navigation menu bar.

   • Restricted: This type limits the visibility of the tickets to only the users who created them.
