Creating a Self Service Mobile Role

If you are using a version of Service Manager prior to Release 2016.1 you may need to create the Self Service Mobile role using the following procedures. For versions of Service Manager beginning with Release 2016.1, the Self Service Mobile role is available, but will need to be assigned to users.

•Assigning a Role to the New Self Service User Interface

Creating the Self Service Mobile Role

The Self Service Mobile role can access the Self Service Mobile user interface.

Create the Self Service Mobile role by following these steps. After you create the role, edit the WebSelfService.New and WebSelfService.Edit Incident forms to ensure that they allow the appropriate views.

1.From the Configuration Console, click Configure > Users and Permissions > Roles and Permissions.

2.Find the SelfService role in the Role Name column and click Clone in the Action column.

3.In the Clone Role dialog box, enter SelfServiceMobile (with no spaces).

Check the spelling. After you enter and save the name, you cannot change it.

4.Click the newly created SelfServiceMobile role to go to the Role Details page.

5.Check New Self Service UI. This provides access to the Self Service Mobile user interface.

Enabling the Self Service UI check box will ignore any settings configured in the top-level tabs for that role. Use Self Service Mobile UI customizations to configure mobile options. See Configuring the Self Service Mobile Portal for more information.

2.Select any role. The application displays the Role Details workspace.
