Requesters can now share service requests and tickets with their subordinates. Once shared, they will be able to view and update the details of the ticket

For example, imagine a new employee raised a ticket to procure a few assets for his WFH setup. It is getting delayed, so he wants to loop in his manager to look at the ticket status. The current CC option only gives them incremental updates but does not give the complete view of the ticket.


Setting up a ticket sharing

For all the accounts created post 03rd October 2022, this option is already enabled. 


For all the older accounts (created before 03rd Oct 2022) they need to navigate to Admin > Support Portal (under Channels - Other Channels)


Note: To ensure the option is enabled, check “Allow requesters to share tickets with others” and select “Yes"

Step1: Select "Share"

Step 2: This will enable requesters with two options.

  • Add people - They will be able to view and update the details of the ticket. If email notifications are enabled, they will be added a  as a carbon copy (CC) to the ticket.

Step 3: The ticket is successfully shared within the department. 


Agents accessing the shared tickets 


Agents can access the tickets from the all-tickets view. They just need to select the “Shared with me” pre-defined filter.





If the ticket is shared with other Requesters, they can view it from their portal.
