Staff Members

Click 'Admin Panel' > 'Staff' > 'Staff Members'

• The staff members area lets you view and manage staff (a.k.a. 'Agents'), update their details, assign them to departments, change their roles/permissions, and more.

Notes: You can only add new staff members through the Comodo One interface. Open C1 > Click ‘Management’ > ‘Staff’ See this page in the Comodo One guide for help to create staff. New staff are assigned to the 'System Default' department. Click 'Admin Panel' > 'Settings' > 'System' to view or change the default department. See Service Desk System Settings if you need more help. You can create new departments and assign staff to them as required. Service Desk imports staff with the same role they have in C1. The role determines their permissions with the Service Desk interface. You can also create custom roles for staff.

Manage staff members

• Open the 'Admin panel' (see the last link on the left)

• Click 'Staff' > 'Staff Members'

• Name: The full name of the staff member.

Click the name to open the 'Update Staff' screen. The screen lets you view and edit staff details and change their role and department. See Update details, role and department of a staff for more information.

• User Name: The name the staff member uses to login to Service Desk.

• Status: Active - Can login and access Service Desk. Locked – Cannot login to Service Desk.

• Role: The role determines the Service Desk permissions of the staff member. You can change a staff member’s role in the 'Update Staff' dialog.
  

• See Update staff for more.

• See Staff Roles to read more about roles.

• Portal Role: The role assigned to the staff member in the Comodo One Portal. There are three default roles in C1 that are not editable - ‘Account Admin’, ‘Admin’, and ‘Technician’.

You can create a custom role by cloning a default role then editing its permissions. If a staff member has a custom role then the portal role column shows the default role from which it was created.

• See https://help.comodo.com/topic-289-1-716-11210-Manage-Roles.html to read more about portal roles.

Update staff details, role and department

You can view and edit the staff member's phone number, department and role. You can also edit the signature appended to outgoing mails from the staff member.

• Open the admin panel (see the last link on the left)

• Click 'Staff' > 'Staff Members'

• Click the name of the staff member.

User Name - The name the staff member uses to log into Comodo One and Service Desk.

Staff Name - The full name of the staff member.

Email Address - The email address of the staff member.

Note: You cannot edit the username or email address from here. Account admins can edit the staff name in the Comodo One interface at ‘Management’ > ‘Staff’.

Role - The role determines the staff member’s privileges in Service Desk. There are two ways you can approach roles:

1) Use the C1 roles - Login to C1 > click ‘Management’ > ‘Roles’.

All roles created in C1 are automatically mirrored in Service Desk. You can clone a default C1 role and modify it’s permissions to create a custom role. C1 roles are also cascaded to other modules such as Endpoint Manager and CRM.

2) Create roles in Service Desk - Open Service Desk > click ‘Admin Panel’ > ‘Staff’ > ‘Roles’

Roles you create in Service Desk are exclusive to the application. They are not mirrored in other Comodo One modules like Endpoint Manager or CRM.

Staff imported from C1 inherit the role they have in the portal. You can change this role in the Service Desk interface at any time.

• See Staff Roles if you want to read more about adding and managing roles.

Select a role for the staff member from the drop-down:

Department - The internal department to which the staff member belongs. New staff are auto-assigned to the Service Desk ‘Default’ department. You can view and change the default department at ‘Admin Panel’ > Settings’ > ‘System’. See Service Desk System Settings for more guidance on setting default department.

Service Desk ships with three basic departments:

• Support

• Sales

• Maintenance

Click 'Admin Panel' > 'Staff' > 'Departments' to create new departments. See Departments for more guidance on managing departments.

Select a department you want to assign to the staff member from the drop-down:

Phone Number: Enter the contact number and extension for the staff member.

Mobile Number: Enter the cell phone number of the staff member.

Staff Signature: This text is appended to all outgoing mails from staff to customers. It can include, for example, company contact details, disclaimers or ‘About us’ information.

Click 'Save Changes' to update the staff member’s details.
