Read moreFrequently asked questions
What do the Freshdesk admin guides say about roles?
That role and scope are two settings, not one. A role says what an agent may do; scope says which tickets they may do it to, and confusing them is how permissions stop meaning anything.
Do these Freshdesk admin guides cover SSO?
Yes, including SAML against Microsoft Entra ID and the failures in the order you will actually hit them.
