How to enable clients super user to interact with all tickets?

Answered


Posted Mar 11, 2022

Hi there!

I'm working for an IT service and support company and we are about to onboard a new client to work with us through Zendesk Support. The clients employees will open tickets for their support requests in our Zendesk through Email. 

Through Zendesk Guide and "Organisation Requests", we are able to give the supervisor (the clients inhouse IT responsible employee) the ability to see all the tickets opened by his organization. Thats nice. 

In Zendesk Guide, the clients supervisor is also able to interact with his own tickets, and the tickets where he's CC. But, unfortunately, hes not able to interact with the "Organization requets". 

We are looking to find a way or setup, which allows the clients supervisor not only to see all the tickets of his organization, but also to add public comments to all those tickets. 

What I've tried is turning on "Organization subscription", which sends an Email-Notification to this user for every comment/update made on all the tickets from his org. But, if he replies to one of those emails, his comment is added to the ticket as an internal comment, which is not visible to the requester. 

The only workaround we've found so far, is manually adding the supervisor as CC to all tickets manually. This allows the supervisor to interact with the tickets in Guide, in the "Tickets where I'm CC'ed on" view. But, adding the supervisor as CC manually to every ticket is cumbersome and prone to error. 

One thing would be to place a feature request to have the option to enable to add comments to tickets in the "Organization Request" view, but I wonder if there is another practical way to enable the clients supervisor to be able to add public comments to all tickets without beeing added as CC. 

I figured this requirement might be quite common, so I thought someone reading this might have across a solution for this already. 

Thanks for your thoughts and help :)

Under the organisation tab, you should be able to set that up.

Once you have set the organisation to all allow user to view all tickets, a new drop down appears to also allow comments.

Now go to an end user in that organisation, and give them access to see the organisation tickets.

They will now have access to see the org tickets and add public comments.

Graeme, thanks for your help! This is great news. Currently, we only allow the clients supervisor to access Zendesk Guide, so he's the only user who can see all the tickets. 

On the other hand, maybe later on, if all end-users of that organization get access to Zendesk-Guide, I'm not sure if the client agrees that all users can see all the organization tickets. It would be great if it would be possible to enable the "... and add comments" option per user and not only for the whole organization. 

Anyhow, thanks for your help!
