    About this task

    You can associate user-specific criteria such as role, assignment group, or specific user with a service definition to determine which users can access and use that service to create a case.

    For example, you can configure user criteria for service definitions like Product Recall or New Product Launch in Store so that only regional managers or operational managers in designated groups can use those services to create cases.

    Procedure

    1. Navigate to All > Customer Service > Administration > Service Definitions.
    2. Select a service definition.
    3. In the Service Definition User Criteria related list, select New.
      The system displays a new Service Definition User Criteria record. The Service definition field is auto-filled with the name of the selected service definition.
    4. In the User criteria field, select a user criteria record.
      These records are stored in the User Criteria [user_criteria] table.

      You can also create a user criteria record by selecting New on the User Criteria pop-up window and filling in the fields on the User Criteria form.

      For more information about the fields on this form, see User criteria form.
