Tickets can be created by the staff members from the Staff CP, either for sending a general email to the client or for creating a ticket on their behalf.
"Send Mail" option at Staff CP > New Ticket > Send Mail, is used to send an email to the clients' email address, and it works just as an email client.
"As User/Phone" option from Staff CP > New Ticket > As User/Phone, is used to create the phone ticket for issues reported by the clients. It creates a ticket in a similar way as clients create them from client support center.
