Understanding Default Agent Roles in Freshservice

There are pre-existing default roles in Freshservice that cannot be modified. Agents with default roles will be able to view all tickets. If you are on the Estate or Forest plans, you can also create custom roles for agents within your IT Service Desk.


The SD (Service Desk) Agent :

This is the basic role you can assign to your IT support agents. These agents can create, reply, update, delete, and resolve Tickets. They can also create and edit Problems and Changes. On the CMDB/Asset Management module, SD Agents can create and edit CIs/assets. They can create and delete requestors, make new announcements, and publish and delete solutions. However, SD agents cannot delete Changes, Problems, or CIs/Assets. They also have no control over Releases.


The SD Supervisor


These agents can perform all agent-related activities and access reports, but cannot access or change configurations in the Admin tab. These agents can create, reply, update, delete, and resolve Tickets. They can also create and edit Problems and CIs/assets. These agents can view reports, have complete control over solutions and can create, edit, and delete requestors. However, SD Supervisors cannot delete Problems or CIs/assets and have no control over Changes, Releases, and Announcements.
