Confidential requests

Confidential requests - created from an appropriately configured offering - to be hidden from the Requested for user in the Service Portal. For example, a manager may create a confidential request for an employee. The manager (the Requested by user) is able to view the request, but the employee (the Requested for user) is not able to view the request.

Confidential requests are set at the offering level. A request created from such an offering is, by default, confidential.

When creating the request from such an offering, the agent can override the default so that the request is no longer confidential. In addition, you can use business rules to apply in specific situations and override the default. For more information about business rules, see Studio business rules.
