Private Tickets

Title: Private Tickets

  1. What is your original issue/pain point you want to solve?

Having organisations set as shared is useful the majority of the time. But occasionally, it would be useful to turn this off for specific tickets.

  1. Which are one or two concrete situations where this problem hurts the most?

Users being able to see each other’s tickets reduces duplication (in an ideal world where they bother to check first). However, this may not be appropriate for tickets intended for HR or Finance departments.

  1. Why is it not solvable with the Zammad standard?

Sharing is turned on at the organisation level. Whilst customers could theoretically switch their organisation before creating a ticket, most of them won’t.

We can use a workflow to change the ticket group, but not the customer organisation.

  1. What is your expectation/what do you want to achieve?

Ideally take the decision out of the customer’s hands - If they create a ticket where a workflow can determine that it should not be shared, either the org is automatically changed, or some other flag that hides the ticket from all other customers (even if they have the url) is set.

Moved to “No implementation planned” as the use case will be covered by these two stories:

No ETA yet, though.

6364 has no relevance, but 6365 would cover this. What would need to happen in order for 6365 to get an ETA?

You are correct. #6365 is the issue that would cover your use-case.

Regarding ETAs, we don’t usually make them public in order to stay agile. Our major goals for this year are currently in no way related to shared organisation or ticket permissions. Our priorities are to advance AI and the new UI, but we have limited resources. We usually tackle smaller issues like this alongside other related issues. When a developer investigates a subsystem, they can address related issues while they are deep in that subsystem.

However, if you are interested in adding priority to this issue, you can always contact our sales team to discuss sponsorship or contribute in the form of a pull request.

Sponsorship would be great, but as we’re funded by the public sector, justifying that kind of donation is tricky.
