Access Control Lists (ACL)

Working with tickets can become a bewildering task. Many options are given to process, or close tickets, even if they are not needed in the current state of a ticket or due to the role of the current agent. Hiding unneeded entries cleans up the menu bar and gets it easier to work with, hiding values from dynamic fields or next queues lowers chance of human error.

OTRS uses access control lists (ACL) to restrict agents and customer users on ticket options, allowing only correct and meaningful activities with a ticket. OTRS administrators can easily generate ACLs in the graphical interface to prevent ticket closure until meeting specific requirements, prevent tickets from being moved to queues before adding the defined information and much more.

Use this screen to manage access control lists in the system. A fresh OTRS installation contains no access control lists by default. The access control lists management screen is available in the Access Control Lists (ACL) module of the Processes & Automation group.

  5. Click on the Delete button in the confirmation screen.

  6. Deploy all ACLs.

Warning

ACLs are written into ZZZACL.pm file in Perl format. Without deploying, all ACLs are still in this cache file even if they are deleted or the Validity option is set to invalid or invalid-temporarily. Don’t forget to deploy all ACLs after modifications!

To deploy all ACLs:

  1. Click on the Deploy ACLs button in the left sidebar.

Note

New or modified ACLs have to deploy in order to make affect the behavior of the system. Setting the Validity option to valid just indicates, which ACLs should be deployed.

To export all ACLs:

  1. Click on the Export ACLs button in the left sidebar.

  2. Choose a location in your computer to save the Export_ACL.yml file.

To import ACLs:

  1. Click on the Browse… button in the left sidebar.

  2. Select a previously exported .yml file.

  3. Click on the Overwrite existing ACLs? checkbox, if you would like to overwrite the existing ACLs.

  4. Click on the Import ACL configuration(s) button.

  5. Deploy the imported ACLs with Deploy ACLs button.

Note

If several ACLs are added to the system, use the filter box to find a particular ACL by just typing the name to filter.

Warning

The maximum number of 80 valid ACLs should not be exceeded. Exceeding this limit may affect the system performance.

Warning

Changing the name of this object should be done with care, the check only provides verification for certain settings and ignores things where the name can’t be verified. Some examples are dashboard filters, access control lists (ACLs), and processes (sequence flow actions) to name a few. Documentation of your setup is key to surviving a name change.

Possible Data Loss

Warning

If a drop-down field has a value that is forbidden by ACL, the stored value in a ticket will be changed or removed after the form is submitted. This can cause possible data loss!

Here is an example to explain the possible problems:

A drop-down dynamic field is created with four possible values: BRONZE, SILVER, GOLD and VIP. Empty value also allowed. The agent can select BRONZE, SILVER and GOLD only. The VIP value can be set only by the generic agent. This is restricted by an ACL. The dynamic field is added to some ticket screens. In a screen the field is set as mandatory but in another screen the field is not mandatory and empty value is allowed.

  1. The agent creates a new ticket. The agent can select only the allowed values, the VIP value is not displayed. SILVER is selected and the ticket is created.

  2. The generic agent changes the value to VIP.

  3. The agent opens a ticket action where the field is added as mandatory. Since the field is mandatory the agent has to select an other value instead of VIP which is not visible to the agent due to an ACL rule. The form is submitted and the dynamic field value is changed. This can be an unintended change.

  4. The generic agent changes the value to VIP again.

  5. The agent opens a ticket action where the field is added as optional. The field shows an empty value because the current VIP value is not visible to the agent. Since the field is not mandatory the agent does not change the value and leaves it empty. The form is submitted and the dynamic field value is changed to empty value. This can be a possible data loss.

Be careful of unintended data change! The same situation can happen with dynamic fields, priorities, queues, states, types and any other drop-down fields that are forbidden by ACLs.

ACL Settings

The following settings are available when adding or editing this resource. The fields marked with an asterisk are mandatory.

Name *

The name of this resource. Any type of characters can be entered to this field including uppercase letters and spaces. The name will be displayed in the overview table.

Comment

Add additional information to this resource. It is recommended to always fill this field as a description of the resource with a full sentence for better clarity, because the comment will be also displayed in the overview table.

Description

Like comment, but longer text can be added here.

Stop after match

ACLs are evaluated in alphabetical order. This setting disables the evaluation of the subsequent ACLs.

Validity *

Set the validity of this resource. Each resource can be used in OTRS only, if this field is set to valid. Setting this field to invalid or invalid-temporarily will disable the use of the resource.

Edit ACL Structure

The ACL definition can be split into two big parts, Match settings and Change settings.

Match Settings

In the match settings the ACLs contain attributes that has to be met in order to use the ACL. If an ACL contains more than one attribute then all attributes have to be met. If the attributes defined in the ACL do not match with the attributes that are sent, then the ACL does not take any affect, but any other match ACL will.

Properties

This section contains matching options that can be changed on the fly. For example on a ticket creation time the data of the ticket changes dynamically as the agent sets the information. If an ACL is set to match a ticket attribute then only when the matching attribute is selected the ACL will be active and might reduce other ticket attributes, but as soon as another value is selected the ACL will not take any affect.

PropertiesDatabase

This section is similar to Properties but does not take changes in ticket attributes that are not saved into the database, this means that changing an attribute without submit will not make any effect. This section is not use for ticket creation screens (as tickets are not yet created in the database).

Change Settings

The change settings contain the rules to reduce the possible options for a ticket.

Possible

This section is used to reset the data to be reduce to only the elements that are set in this section.

PossibleAdd

This section is used to add missing elements that were reduced in other ACLs. This section is only used in together with other ACLs that have Possible or PossibleNot sections.

PossibleNot

This section is used to remove specific elements from the current data. It could be used stand alone or together with other ACLs with a Possible or PossibleAdd sections.

Modifiers

In order to make the development of ACLs easier and more powerful there is a set of so called modifiers for the attributes on each section. This modifiers are explained below:

[Not]

This modifier is used to negate a value, for example [Not]2 low. Talking about priorities will be the same as to have: 1 very low, 3 normal, 4 high, 5 very high.

[RegExp]

It is used to define a regular expression for matching several values, for example [RegExp]low. In this case talking about priorities is the same as 1 very low, 2 low.

[regexp]

It is very similar to [RegExp] but it is case insensitive.

[NotRegExp]

Negated regular expressions, for example [NotRegExp]low. Talking about priorities is the same as 3 normal, 4 high, 5 very high.

[Notregexp]

It is very similar to [NotRegExp] but it is case insensitive.

ACL Examples

Limit available queues based on current queue and priority

This example shows how to restrict the available queues to the Alert queue if the ticket is currently in the queue Raw and has the priority 5 very high.

In this example PropertiesDatabase is used. This means that the ticket must already be in the queue Raw and must have the priority 5 very high in order to apply this ACL.

This ACL is not applied if a user only selects the queue Raw and the priority 5 very high in a dialog. To achieve this, Properties has to be used.

Using this ACL, tickets that are in the Raw queue and have the priority 5 very high can only be moved to the Alert queue.

Using regular expressions

This example shows how to use regular expressions for matching tickets and for filtering the available selection options.

With this ACL, only services that contain Hardware in their name are displayed in agent interface (and if configured as well in the external interface) if the ticket is stored in a queue whose name starts with HW, or if a queue whose name starts with HW is selected in a user dialog.

Restrict one dynamic field based on another dynamic field

This example shows how to restrict the selectable values of the dynamic field CarModel to Polo, Golf and Passat, if a user has selected the value VW in the dynamic field CarManufacturer in the same user dialog.

Make sure that you use the name of the dynamic field in format DynamicField_Name and make sure that you use the data keys of the possible values and not the data values shown to the user. Both is specified in the definition of the dynamic field.

Hide user task activity dialogs in a process based on the agent role

Let’s assume that a process contains a user task activity that has two user task activity dialogs assigned to it and that these user task activity dialogs shall be executed only by agents who have a specific role.

The goal is to display the correct user task activity dialogs only to the agents who have the correct role.

User task activity dialog

Agent role

Approval from Sales

Head of Sales

Approval from Marketing

Head of Marketing

For this purpose three ACLs are required.

Note

Process and user task activity dialogs are referenced by ID.

The first ACL prevents the display of all user task activity dialogs within this user task activity.

Pitfalls using properties

If ticket attributes are used in both Match settings and Change settings at the same time, a logical problem occurs when using Properties, which may prevent ticket actions from being used in a proper way.

In this example you can see in the Match settings the queue Raw and the priority 5 very high and in the Change settings the queue Alert is possible.

  Description: If ticket attributes are used in both Match settings and Change settings

  Name: 090 Pitfalls

If you deploy this ACL and then run the Move Ticket ticket action in a ticket, you will see that you cannot click the Send button if you select the Raw queue because the change setting will be applied immediately (due to Properties) and this will result in your selection being deleted because the Raw queue is no longer a valid selection.

Typically this logical problem can be avoided by using PropertiesDatabase instead of Properties. Please compare with the very first given example.

ACL Reference

Properties, keys and values that can be used in ACLs are highly depend on the OTRS installation. For example the possibilities can be extended by installing extension modules, as well as it can be depend on the customer user mapping set in Config.pm. Therefore it is not possible to provide a full ACL reference, that contains all settings.

For properties, keys and values that can be used in ACLs, see the following example ACL in YAML format.
