The problem it solves

Keeping employee access rights up to date in your helpdesk system is tedious, especially when roles change often. You end up opening each account by hand and changing permissions one by one, which is easy to forget or get wrong.

Who it fits

IT administrators or operations managers who manage staff permissions in a Zammad helpdesk.

How it works

  1. Starts when someone provides a spreadsheet listing staff emails and their intended roles
  2. The system reads through each row one by one
  3. It matches each email address to the corresponding user account in Zammad
  4. It updates that person's role and permissions to match the spreadsheet
  5. You get a completed list showing which accounts were successfully updated
What you get

Role updates finished in one spreadsheet pass

A spreadsheet of staff emails and roles updates everyone's Zammad access and permissions automatically.

What you get

An updated set of user roles in Zammad and a summary of which accounts changed.

What you need

A Zammad account with API access and a hosted Excel file with staff role data.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
