Group as a Contact

Member 1 of Group A sends a request via the winuser portal.  Member 1 goes on vacation.  Member 2 of Group A wants to edit the incident sent by Member 1.  The members of the Group A are not workers.  Is this possible?  If not, is there a workaround to make this happen?

If Member 1 forwards the acknowledge generated email to the other members of the group with the Incident # on the Subject Line, will Altiris HelpDesk edit the incident if Member 2 sends the email to the email Inbox?

Your e-mail idea should work

Your e-mail idea should work, but I haven't tested this.  It's creative, though, and more than that -- it should work!

There is not another way to do what you're asking unless the Contact is modified to Member 2 from Member 1.

It worked!  I had to modify the email Inbox by adding the following in "For Existing Incidents":

Set "Action" to "Edit"

When I view the incident after I sent the email, Modified by is equal to HelpDesk.  Can I add another line above so that I can set the Modified by to the sender of the email?  If this is not possible, it may not be a big deal since in the history portion you will see the email address of the sender of the email.  But I think it will be sweet if that can be changed to reflect the sender's name as the person editing the incident.
