- Tech Portal Board/Queue Access Configuration
Tech Portal Board/Queue Access Configuration
Much like how it's possible to grant/restrict ticket access for clients in the Client Portal, access to queues/boards can also be finetuned for your technicians.
Global Settings
This determines the global setting of which boards/queues from your PSA will appear in your DeskDirector instance. To configure this:
- Login to your DeskDirector Admin Portal then head to
Tech>Global Settings - For Board settings, configure in the Ticket Access tab

- Optionally, configure Ticket Dynamic Content for your tech members under the Advanced tab

Member Ticket Access Configuration
You can finetune the settings for individual members under Tech > Members/Resources > Select the Member > Tickets (discussed below):
Board/Queue Restriction
Here you can select specific boards/queues that you want to restrict a member's access to. Any changes here will override the global board/queue restriction.

Company Restriction
Using this setting, you can finetune further each Tech member/resource' ticket access to specific companies. Just type the company name and predictive typing will show you a list of companies that match what you type

Tech Portal Board/Queue Access Use Case
There are several scenarios and possibilities on how the Tech Portal board/queue access can be used.
- If you have new technicians and don't want to overwhelm them with issues from boards/tickets that they can't handle yet. You can customize their tech portal by restricting their access to specific boards/queues. Then as they progress, you can grant them access to the other boards gradually.
- You want a specific user only to see tickets from a specific company.
- and the list goes on.....
