Manage Technicians

The manage technicians section allows you (Super Admin/Admin) to grant privileges to technicians to conduct remote support and/or unattended access sessions. All technicians added in your organization can access unattended computers by default.  However, granting remote support privilege depends on the number of remote support technician licenses you've purchased. You can choose to change the privileges while sending an invite or even after the technician has joined the organization. Invites can be sent one by one or even to a group of technicians. You can also grant permissions for technicians belonging to specific groups under unattended access.

Steps

  1. To Invite Technician(s).
  2.  Manage Technicians - Custom Role
  3. To assign roles or add a new custom role  
  4. To start monitoring a remote session

To invite technician(s)

  • Go to Settings in the top Menu bar.
  • Under Organization, select Manage Technicians.
  • Click on INVITE TECHNICIAN.
   4. Choose the tab Invite one by one to send invites specifically to technicians.
  5. Choose the tab Bulk Invitation to invite a group of technicians.
   6. Enter the email address of the technician.
   7. Choose Add another email given below, to add another email address.
   8. You can grant access to a custom role by clicking on the Role drop-down box.
   9. To grant access to all the  groups, click All Groups selected under Departments & Groups.
   10. Or you can select the necessary groups and click DONE.
   11. Now click  INVITE TECHNICIAN  to send the email invite.
   12. If the invited technician already has an account with Zoho, they can click on  ACCEPT  to be a part of the organization. 
   13. If not, the technician would be redirected to our homepage where they would have to signup with Zoho Assist to be a part of the organization
Note : The email invitation sent to the technician will expire within 7 days of time.
