I came across a post mentioning that, by default, the Faculty and Staff roles cannot use the global search feature to find tickets — even those they’ve submitted or are listed as followers on. However, some of our Faculty/Staff members have multiple pages of tickets, so having access to the search functionality would be very helpful for them (that way they can search by certain keywords or for a specific ticket number).

I found that enabling the “View Tickets List and Details” permission allows the search feature to work, but this also grants visibility into all tickets — which we want to avoid. I’ve tried restricting the scope using the “User’s assigned location” conditional filter, which helps lower the number of tickets visible, but this doesn’t limit the view to only the tickets a user has submitted or is following.

I know that enabling the “View Tickets Nav Item,” allows them to create custom views as well as can limit their view to only the tickets they are following - but again, with multiple pages of tickets - using the search feature would be very helpful.

Maybe I’m missing it but - Is there a way to enable ticket search for Faculty/Staff users that is limited to only the tickets they’ve submitted or are following? Alternatively, is it possible to apply a conditional filter on the “Tickets” permissions so that users only see tickets they’re directly involved with?

Thanks in advance.

@MAndrada 510b733 powayusd Good Morning! I am not aware of that granularity with global search.

On their left Nav Bar, they should be able to see the ‘My Tickets’ option and if they need to search further, they could potentially utilize the ‘filter’ function to drill down on what tickets they would like to see.

I am going to check with my team and see if I am unaware of that permission adjustment to make it visible for faculty/staff. I will check back asap!


@MAndrada 510b733 powayusd would you be able to give me a name of one of your staff/faculty members who cannot access the global search. I wanted to see if I can login and troubleshoot permissions. You can private message it to me if you are not okay with sending it here. I found this excerpt in the community documentation about permissions so this leads me to think that something may be missing. 

 

 


Hi ​@Melissa_iiQ! Thank you for responding and looking into this.

I apologize but I made a mistake - my Faculty/Staff users can search their own tickets that they opened or are opened on their behalf, but they’re unable to use the global search function to search ticket that they are set to as a follower on.

I’ll send you private message of two users.


@MAndrada 510b733 powayusd Is there is a reason they are wanting to search for those tickets versus just having a view to pull?
