Disable the permission to create, update, or close interactions

When you disable a profile’s permission to create, update, and close interactions, users with the profile are not authorized to create, update, or close a service request or a support request in Service Request Catalog.

To disable the corresponding permission, follow these steps:

  1. Log on to Service Manager as an Administrator.
  2. Navigate to System Administration > Ongoing Maintenance > Profiles > Service Desk Profile.
  3. Click Search, and then select a profile name from the name list.

    Alternatively, you can type a name in the Profile Name field.

  4. On the Security tab, do one of the following:

    • To disable the permission to create an interaction, click to clear the New checkbox.

      This disables the Request buttons of service items and support items, and the Create button of generic support when users with the profile log on to SRC.

    • To disable the permission to update an interaction, select Never in the Update drop-down list.

      This disables the Resubmit buttons of service items and support items, and the Update button of generic support when users with the profile log on to SRC.

    • To disable the permission to close an interaction, click to clear the Close checkbox.

      This disables the Close buttons of support request when users with the profile log on to SRC.

Note You can specify the Allowed Statuses on the profile setting page for users. In this case, the new, update, and close capabilities are available only when interactions are in a specified status.
