Searching for Tickets

This topic is intended for SecureChange handlers who are responsible for processing change requests.

Overview

Task handlers associated with roles with the View tickets of all users permission can search the ticket database. Other task handlers cannot search for tickets, and instead see a static list of all tickets assigned to them or available to them for self-assignment.
