More Granular Permissions of Resources & Accounts
I am wondering if there is a way to create more granular permissions for passwords and users accounts. Our situation is we have two API user accounts setup. One account we want to only allow password resets and not view passwords, this is a normal user account One account we want to only allow full access: view and modify. Reason for this is, if a password is changed we still have a history of what it was - we also have logging of who did it via the API. We do not want to allow other users to view
Technician Training Dashboard - Logging records for coaching technicians
Is there a plan to have a feature wherein we can log coaching sessions with technicians within SDP? We have SMEs, Managers, Supervisors, Senior IT personnel who regular perform coaching sessions for new and existing technician for handling improvement on a specific record (i.e. Request, Problem, Change, etc.) Right now, the log recording is all over the place - some in spreadsheets, word docs, and other platforms. It would be easier if we can easily manage it within SDP.
Remove Mandatory Field Requirement on Incidents Created by Email
We just updated our SDP from 9414 to 10020. In the old version our ticket manager was able to assign unassigned tickets created by email to a technician or group. On the new version when they try to assign the ticket they get a screen saying mandatory fields cannot be empty. The ticket manager doesn't have time to fill out all of those fields before assigning it to a technician. That is part of the technician's job. As a work around for now I have turned off mandatory for those fields but they need

VIP and service request approvals
Hi, Most of our service request templates require approvals (workflow) from $ReportingTo . What we don't want is our VIP's having to get approvals from the CEO. They have enough authority to request without approvals and I don't want to get fired by annoying the CEO. anyway to achieve VIP's not requiring approvals?
Is there any way of updating existing requestors as VIP's via an import
Hi team I have 25000 requestors. I would like to mark about 100 of them as VIP's. Is there a way of attaching the VIP flag via an import? As a side note, is there also a way of removing the VIP flag using a script? Regards Roger

Stop posting to contact support without the posting the final resolution
I am new to this application so I have been trying to use the forums alot and I have a quick suggestion for the employees that help in the forum. I see that manageEngine employees are very active on this forum and I love that, but all I seem to fine in post is "Please send your contact details to passwordmanagerpro-support@manageengine.com so that we can schedule a web meeting session and assist you." Almost every time I think I have a post that is relates to a problem of mine, someone post this
DSP - Additional Detail in Access Reports
Add the following detail to Access Reports. All File/Folder Changes Provide information on what was changed when viewing the Permission Change or SACL Change categories. For security purposes, this could simply say "content" or "metadata" rather than the actual text within a document. However, both of these options should be accessible under Risk Assessment. Security Permission Change Provide information on what security entries were added/removed/modified.
Feature Request - Exclude Condition Access Type
When creating exclude conditions, either server specific or domain specific, it would be extremely useful to provide granularity based on the Action Type. Example: I have a a file or directory that should not be written to. I don't need a report for every time a Write Deny is logged. Instead, I need to report on when a Write is successful. In this case, I'd want a condition of: Exclude Local Path is equal to "C:\Path\to\monitor" AND action type is "Write" It appears you have the ability to do one
Service Desk Plus REST API - '&' Character causes errors when used in category name
Hi everyone, I have been at this issue for a while and I am yet to find a solution. Our system is set up where one of the CATEGORY options is "Email & Phone". However, If I attempt to make a ADD or EDIT Request with that as the CATEGORY name I am given an error. I was using JSON as a format so I tried JSON specific escape characters which did not fix it. I also tried XML as a format and used "&" to replace "&" but I still received an error. Any help would be much appreciated.

Notification of account creation in specific location (country)
Hi, we're moving to a flat OU structure for win 10 and the current account creation notifications, created when a Win 7 account is made in the current Office specific OU will no longer work. I've looked at changing it but the only selectable fields in profile criteria are Action, Container, Technician and Domain Name. My unique identifier for the location of accounts will soon be Office as it's shown in AD. any ideas how I can get different people notified of new accounts in their office? David
Prevent user from re-opening a ticket after x days

Migrate 9044 to 10501
Good afternoon! We have the service desk plus in version 9044. I thought about creating a parallel environment by cloning the server and data database, and in this environment will be updating the application packs. Being all up-to-date and tested, just do the pointing to the production database. doubt: When we update the application, is the database also updated (structure and tables)? If so, this strategy would not work ... If it is not, could I simply install a new application and point to the

Expand All on Conversation
Hi, We're working on the newish version (10007), and some feedback from my technicians is that it would be helpful to have an Expand/Collapse All button in the new Conversation section so that they don't have to click onto each Note to expand it and so can read through the history of the call quickly. What's the thoughts on that?

Beginner help with Powershell and RestMethod API calls
My main goal with this is to be able to add a new request (which I've already tested successfully) and then add a reply to it. So far I'm having trouble with the reply part. In digging through the API v3, it doesn't appear that there is a reply function (and I don't think that Update Request is the appropriate one unless I'm mistaken) built into v3, so I think I'll have to use V1. However I'm not quite sure how to. Here's the code I have, which I think is a mash of V1 and V3: $ApiKey = "My key goes
Auto attach and resolve
Hi everyone, I'm struggling a bit with the automation. The staff that we support are not very "self-supportive" and are not expected to benefit from Self Service links. What I'm looking to do instead is when they create a work order for something that can be done themselves that it's automatically resolved with an attachment. Is this possible?
Deploy patches during business hours but reboot during maintenance window?
I want to deploy patches during business hours (7 to 5 Monday through Friday) but only reboot to install the patches (when required) outside of business hours. Is that possible in a deployment policy or will I have to create a deployment policy that does not reboot, then create a scheduled task to reboot?
Activate wrong archived requests
Hello, We have accidently archived requests with request status 'any status' instead of 'closed only'. I know there is no GUI option to restore them, so do you have SQL scripts to do this? Thanks in advance. By the way, we still have a backup copy of the database before we started the data archiving. Best regards, Kerim Berkeveld

[SDF-51074] Task Template: Site
We're trying to use more task templates to speed up request delivery but ran into this 'issue' when building them. Why is it not possible to create a template and assign it to group within a particular Site? The Groups/Techs behave the same as Custom Triggers where available Technicians are only from the 'Not Associated to any Site' group. Why not make all sites available so we can preconfigure the appropriate Group or Technician from the actual Sites we work in?
