Overview

From the Project console, you can manage who has the rights to open new requests on the Helpdesk.

The Helpdesk is handled from another tool called JIRA Service Desk, managed from the Project console.

Access to the Helpdesk is given per project.

Access to the Helpdesk is granted per user by creating a separate account (the authentication is not shared with the Akeneo Portal).

The project managers, both from the customer and system integrator, can add and remove access to project support for the contacts of their companies.
