OTOBO - Users, Groups and Roles
OTOBO - Users, Groups and Roles
Section titled “OTOBO - Users, Groups and Roles”Effective control of access to resources and permissions is of crucial importance for every organization, large or small, to ensure secure and efficient service desk operations. By precisely controlling who has access to which information and capabilities in the system, companies can ensure that their data is protected and resources are used optimally. OTOBO, an advanced ticket system, offers powerful tools for managing user access and permissions. These tools make it possible to establish a clean and flexible permission system that meets the specific requirements of an organization.
OTOBO Agents
Section titled “OTOBO Agents”The administration of agents is an essential element in OTOBO, which ensures the configuration and management of access rights and permissions within the system. OTOBO allows the use of up to ten different sources for managing agent access, which makes it easier for administrators to adapt and react quickly in the event of account compromises or unexpected outages. For the integration of new OTOBO agents, OTOBO recommends a central interface, which already includes an OTOBO agent with administrator rights in the standard configuration of a new OTOBO setup.
OTOBO Customer Users
Section titled “OTOBO Customer Users”The management of customer users is another critical area in the OTOBO ticket system. OTOBO offers comprehensive options for storing contact data of companies with which you interact. This contact data includes not only basic information such as email addresses and phone numbers, but also specific details such as addresses for shipping and billing purposes. The powerful customer user management of OTOBO supports the addition, organization, and maintenance of these essential company contacts.
OTOBO SSO Login
Section titled “OTOBO SSO Login”In OTOBO, you can enable Single Sign-On (SSO) for your users. This allows your users to log in to OTOBO with their existing Microsoft AD username and password without having to enter another password.
OTOBO Customers
Section titled “OTOBO Customers”For the efficient organization and management of interactions with customer companies, structured customer management is essential. OTOBO explains in detail the procedure for integrating customer companies into the system. This integration is often only possible via the database backend, and when using external directory services such as LDAP, customer management is deactivated accordingly. Correctly adding customer information means filling out relevant data fields and saving them permanently.
Groups and Roles
Section titled “Groups and Roles”At the heart of the OTOBO platform is the management of groups and roles, which are of great importance for the assignment and organization of permissions within the system. The guide explains how new groups can be created, which standard groups already exist, and that groups can only be deactivated, not deleted. This group structure is crucial for determining which tickets can be viewed and processed by which agent.
