Ticket Access Overview
The DeskDirector Admin Portal allows you to set very specific settings in regards to boards your contacts can access. This article will guide you through setting up the filters for their tickets.
You can filter which queues (tickets) will be shown on the DeskDirector Portal. These filters can be set at a global, company, and contact level. Tickets and Permissions uses cascading override approach. This means that Account level filters override Global Settings, which in turn is overridden by Contact filters. The same applies for Permissions, which are also set from the Global Settings within the Admin Portal.
Global Ticket Access
This page is where you can set all global access settings for ticket boards. Global ticket settings apply to all of your contacts and have the lowest priority in the override.
To get started, login to the Admin Portal, then head to Client Portal > Global Settings > Queues and tickets. On this page you can globally enable/disable which queues are accessible for all of your contacts by default.

Portal > Global Settings > Board accessTicket Sharing
If you have contacts for a specific account that wish to be able to view all tickets for their users (e.g: C-Suite want to have visibility into all requests made though the Client Portal), you can enable Allow share tickets at account level. This will mean they can see all tickets submitted by users from their company's account.
