Am I able to create a custom user role within Incident IQ?

Can I create a custom user role?

A workaround option is to create a custom permission policy and applying it to the selected user(s). This will give them the permissions they need without applying it out to other users with the same role in the system.
Here is the help guide for creating permission polices.

+13We looked at this as well. Our use case was ultimately wanting to assign ticket templates to non-agent users who have to put in rep. Looked at making them Agents with custom permissions but found just by being an agent they were able to view more in the system than we were comfortable with.

This has or was on your radar and roadmap from 2019. This was listed as an Idea years ago and it keeps getting strung along when a lot of us keep asking for it. The workaround doesn't really work for us…we need the additional roles.
+13I looked at some of that but we basically had to disregard it for our uses, just by making someone an agent and then restricting permissions still changed someone to much from being a staff role. Hopefully that enhancement is sooner than later.
+5Would love a feature to create more admin roles that I can dynamically assign based on Users AD Title.
+2Just checking in on this suggestion. This was something that was discussed when we onboarded with Incident IQ and would like to see implemented. We would like to assign specific ticket types to certain roles in the college (like new software purchase should be submitted by a supervisor or dean).
+13At yesterday’s office hours it sounded like quick tickets might work for this (I can’t test them yet cause of a different bug) but it sounded like for ticket types you don’t want everyone to have access to, you could give specific groups of people access to it. So if most of your staff don’t have access to request software you could provide a quick ticket to someone and that group would have it.
Currently to give an individual access to one (and just that individual) the best way I know is via custom fields and then scoping the quick ticket to users with that field.
