Overview

This section focuses on how the End User will use Layton ServiceDesk to log and monitor their own Requests. If End Users are not to be given access to the system, then the Login page can be modified to remove End User login and Registration links.

Layton ServiceDesk also offers NTLM Auto Logon (single sign-on) which will authenticate by the currently logged in domain username and automatically log them into the ServiceDesk without having to enter their credentials.
