What is an agent ticket scope?
Usually, in smaller companies, every agent is able to see all information. In big corporations, on the other hand, there is much secret information. Agent ticket scope helps to define, what tickets and information agents are able to see. Every agent is assigned to a ticket scope with different accesses. Another part of the agent ticket scope is the actions an agent can take within the system. Some agents can, for example, perform bulk imports and read all the internal notes, whereas others can only view ticket updates. Admins can define to which departments an agent will have access.
