Access Policy

Ticketing > Configure Ticketing > Access Policy

The Access Policy page determines who can edit and/or display fields in tickets. Independent policies can be set for each user role and for all machine users. Machine users only see tickets assigned to their machine ID. Non-master role users only see tickets for scopes they are authorized to access.

Select user or role

Before setting any other policy options, select <Users>, meaning all machine users, or a user role from the drop-down list.
