Service Desk Staff Panel
- The 'Staff Panel' lets staff (aka 'agents') manage tickets assigned to them, create new end-users, edit customers, manage knowledge-base items, manage projects and update their time sheets.
- Staff members are added by administrators through the Comodo One portal. The permissions of a staff member are determined by the role to which they are assigned ('Admin Panel' > 'Staff' > 'Roles') and the department to which they belong 'Admin Panel' > 'Staff' > 'Departments').
- Staff Members that are given admin permissions can also access the admin panel.
Staff can navigate to different areas of the console by clicking the links on the left of the interface. Tool tips offering guidance are available for most features.
