OTRS – Assign Customer Companies to groups or services

With OTRS you can define different customers backends even choosing to integrate data from an LDAP server. To keep track of customers’ service subscriptions, you can define a relationship between single customers and groups and services. This allows customer users just to see services they subscribed. OTRS comes with 2 administration panels which allow to assign groups and services to single customer users; the problem is to maintain such relationships for whole organizations! We have customers with hundreds of users, which are very difficult to be managed with the standard OTRS tools;

We developed an OTRS add-on allowing OTRS administrators to assign customer companies to groups and/or services:

As for the in-built administration modules, the new two options allow to select a customer company and then to apply services of groups relationships to all members of the customer company.

    Hallo,

    dieses Add-On finde ich sehr interessant, ich frag mich nur, ob dies auch mit Active Directory verknüpfbar ist.
    So dass das Feld Kundennr. aus der AD ausgelesen wird und die Service den Gruppen zugeordnet werden können.
    Evtl. das in OTRS die gleichen Gruppen angelegt werden wie in der AD und das OTRS dann einen abgleich macht.

    Ich hoffe Ihr versteht mich.

    Vielen Dank schon mal für eine Rückmeldung und Gruß

      Hallo,
      das Plugin wird nicht mehr weiterentwickelt. Allerdings sollte es auch mit OTRS 3.3.X kompatibel sein. Um es erfolgreich zu installieren, muss man die OPM Datei so ändern, dass bei folgende Zeile hinzufügen:

      3.3.x

      Dieser Vorgang wurde von uns noch nicht getestet, sollte aber funktionieren.

      Gruss
