Access control

CDESK recognize 4 access levels for knowledge base:

1. Without access

2. Reading their own and shared + create their own records - this option allows the operator to read his own records and those that have been shared with him 

3. Reading all + create their own records - allows the operator to read all records

4. Full access - no limits, default setting for all maintainer accounts

Creating custom records doesn´t mean just creating new knowledges, but also adding solutions and comments to all entries which can be accessed.

Setting access to knowledge base for operators

Access settings can be found in Admin zone -> Users -> Operators and groups -> choose operator -> tab General settings -> section Advanced operator settings -> Access to Knowledge Base.

Default settings are as follows: 

- helpdesk - regular, technician - general: Reading their own and shared + create their own records

- technician - regular, helpdesk - specialist, helpdesk - supervisor: Reading all + create their own records

Setting access for customers
