Customer access per portal

Kevin Gérard

Hi there! 

 

I'm currently setting up a couple of new Service desk projects. 

Untill now, we've used a single customer faced service desk, using Organizations & Customers to grant access. 

In first instance, this needs to be updated with an additional servicedesk (contract management & order placement). 

Here's the snag. 

When i add an organization on the new servicedesk, it automatically adds all customers from that organization. However, i want to decide for each organization, which members are allowed on the new service desk portal. 

 

when this is implemented succesfully, i'm planning to apply this structure on at least one more service desk.

 

Is there a way to implement this? 

 

 

FYI, i've set up Assets as a CMS system, which is now set up to assign organizations & customers to different service desks, Automation will handle this for me.

Hi Readers, 

I've applyed it as following. 

 

Each Portal is represented by a GROUP 

This group is added to the project with the 'customer' role. 

The Project permissions is also updated: "Browse project" permission is restricted to this group. rather than the default available .

• Service Project Customer - Portal Access  is replaced by the portal specific group. 

 

Thanks to using Assets as CMS system, i can add an attribute that represents the project/portal. By Assigning this to a customer, i can add the organization to all projects, but restrict on customer level which portal is visible to them. 

 

It takes some playing with the Automation & API, but it works well enough. 

 

Downside to this system is i am now required to create Atlassian Accounts instead of portal only accounts.  (as portal only accounts are not assignable to groups)
