There are many ways to organize such small of a setup. I’d have around 80.000 queues if I did so ;) But for your deeds it might be the perfect way to go.

If your staff is small, then an ‘all access’ philosophy might be best, people can still organize themselves by choosing ‘My Queues’ according to their working fields.

Daniel,

Thanks for your help!

I have a handful of clients and I intend to create one queue and one group for each, create the role “Service Desk” and “Problem Management” and then assign the staff to these roles. After, I want to set the permissions within role to each group.

What do you think about it?

Thanks!

Assunto: Re: [otrs] How to use the roles

If you are dealing with roles, the setup should be:

User

-- is member of -->

Role

-- has certain rights to different -->

groups

--which contain-->

queues and/or

generic groups to steer access rights such as admin permissions

(I'd prefer a 1:1 relation between groups and queues not to get totally

nuts.)

So, a setup could be:

Queue Q_1 is associated with Group G_1

Queue Q_2 is associated with Group G_2

Queue Q_3 is associated with Group G_3

permission to FAQ admin is associated with group faq_admin

Role R_1 has r/w rights to G_1 and G_2

Role R_2 has r/w rights to G_3 and faq_admin

All staff is member of R_1

Admin is member of R_1 and R_2

Hope that helps!

Greetz,

Daniel

Dears,

I have been trying to understand how can I use the roles in OTRS.

I'm not being able to understand the example from admin guide.

Somebody can help me with some real situation?

Thanks!
