BMC Service Request Management permissions
Any user with a People record and a Read license can use the Request Entry console to submit requests for themselves and on behalf of other users.
You can also configure AR System to allow guest users. However, in multi-tenancy mode, guest users must have a People record to access the Request Entry console.
In single-tenancy mode, guest users can access the Request Entry console without a People record, if the Service Request Management application is also configured to allow unknown users.
