Agents: Can view and respond to tickets, assign them, and modify ticket properties.
Problem Manager: Can view and respond to tickets and problems and modify their properties.
Change Manager: Can view and respond to tickets and changes and modify their properties.
Release Manager: Can view and respond to tickets and releases and modify their properties.
CMDB Admin: Can access the CMDB to manage configuration items, and manage tickets, problems, changes, and releases.
