Roles and permissions

Track-It! is a HelpDesk application that provides access and permissions control for Self Service users, technicians, and groups.

Roles

The following table lists Track-It! roles and license types:

Track-It! roleBusiness roleLicenseAdditional information
RequestorEnd users (Self Service users)NamedAccess to Self Service is controlled through the requestor account settings in configuration. An administrator can grant Self Service access for a specific requestor by selecting the appropriate check box for their account. By default, all requestors have access to their own tickets. Administrators have an option to configure requestors access to allow visibility of tickets submitted by other users for their location or department as well.
TechnicianHelpDesk agentConcurrent or NamedAll technicians are granted access to the Technician Web Portal. Administrators can deactivate technician accounts to revoke access but yet keep the record in the system for record keeping purposes. Technicians who are assigned the Named license have a dedicated license and can access the Technician Portal at any time. Technicians without a Named license are considered concurrent users and are limited based on the number of concurrent licenses owned. If there are 5 concurrent licenses owned and 5 concurrent technicians logged in, the 6th concurrent technician who tries to log in will be denied access until one of the other concurrent technicians logs out.
AdministratorSystem AdministratorConcurrent or Named

All technicians who have System Administration permission receive full access to the Technician Portal and the Configuration module. It is recommended that the administrator be provided with a Named license to ensure they can always access the system.

(2020 Release 03) If all the named licenses assigned to technicians are consumed because of overallocation of licenses through the License Update page, then only system administrators with a named license can log in to Track-It! provided that they unassign an appropriate number of named licenses after logging in. For more information, see Managing named licenses in Track-It! (2020 Release 03).
