  • Double click process shape (1).
  • Edit the Enactment Permissions (2).

Enactment permissions can be defined against a workflow to control which agents are able to enact the workflow on a ticket.  Enactment permissions can be controlled by Group membership or using Workflow roles (workflow roles are only supported for Advanced models, not Standard models).  See Managing Workflow Roles for details of how to define workflow roles and assign them to agents.

When enactment permissions are configured using groups, an agent will be able to enact the workflow if they belong to one of these groups.

When enactment permissions are configured using workflow roles, an agent will be able to enact the workflow if they are assigned to one of these roles.

If both groups and workflow roles are used for enactment permissions then the agent needs to belong to one of the groups or be assigned to one of the workflow roles.

If the agent does not have the necessary permission, then the Flowset assistant app will be disabled and the agent will not be able to transition the ticket through this workflow.

 

Edit enactment permission

Click the enactment permission add (or edit if permissions already exist) button to edit the permissions. 

When editing enactment permissions for a Standard model or when no Workflow Roles have been defined, a modal is displayed showing a list of groups defined in Zendesk

Select each group whose members are allowed to enact this workflow on a ticket.  If there are no enactment permission groups selected, then any agent can enact the workflow.  It is possible to define enactment permissions at a transition or activity level.  If these lower level permissions are defined then they override those defined at the workflow level.

When editing enactment permissions for an Advanced model when workflow roles have been defined, a modal is displayed showing lists of Roles and Groups.  It is recommended to use Roles as these give more flexibility to who is assigned the role.
