Very easy mistake to make!

By default the customer interface will allow customers to create tickets, fyi.

The customer interface allows a customer to login and see tickets they have created, and tickets their company has created.  For this to work you need to set the CustomerID on their account, and make sure that tickets being created have the correct User and Customer ID.

Now that I feel stupid, I’m going to ask another dumb question.

I logged in as a customer, but maybe I don’t understand how customer login works.  My boss wants the customers to be able to see all open and closed tickets assigned to them.  We don’t plan to let customers make their own tickets, our agents will make them all.  But when I log in as a customer I know has open tickets it shows as 0 tickets.  What should I do?

Are you trying to log in via the Agent interface rather than the Customer interface by any chance?

I know I’m going to feel stupid asking this….

I’m having an issue with customer user logins.  I have made user accounts for all of my company’s customers so they can view their tickets.  But when I go to the login page none of the customer user accounts I created work.  It says I have an invalid username/password.  I’ve checked to make sure I’m not doing something really dumb like misspell the name, and I’m not.

I also looked through the FAQ and help manuals and can’t find anything that has to be specifically turned on to make it possible for customers to log in.  Anyone have any ideas?
