Can we limit access/view of incident to group members only?

How can I limit access and viewing of incidents to only those assignment groups in which the ITIL user is a member of?

We want to stop people in Data Management group from seeing/altering incidents in the Wireless group, etc.

If I am in Assignment Groups: VIP Support; Technical Services; and User Support, then I should only be able to see or have access to incidents in those groups. I should not be able to see incidents in Wireless or Data Management.

Is this possible?

Hi Gerry,



This would be done via ACLs. Grant read permission to someone if the assignment group is one of their groups in the condition builder.

Can you please pretend you are talking to a 3rd grader . . . . I have never gotten into SN this much and it's all greek to me.



In my Access Control (ACL) I have 6331 items. Which one do I alter, or do I start a new one?


Sorry for the confusion Gerry.



The number by the condition field simply says how many records are affected by your filter.



If you define a new filter, such as the one I showed above, click the yellow arrows next to that blue text and it will refresh the count.


the 6331 is what is showing in MY ACL.



So, you're saying I need to create a new ACL?


Where do I do that? there is no "new" option . .
