Manage Companies
Learn about creating, editing, and setting up companies in GoToAssist Service Center.
Companies are the sets of users for whom you provide services to (i.e., your clients). Setting up distinct companies for each different organization you support allows you to organize your customers, which is helpful if you have multiple clients or offices. Once a company is created, customers can be added as employees of that company. Companies can be used to represent a wide array of sub-organizations, such as separate corporations that you assist, different departments within an organization or even different locations of the same office.

Specify a company's service access
This feature is available to account administrators only.
Use the Services tab to select the service access that should given to the company's employees (e.g., specify which services a company's employees should and shouldn't be able to access). Any service can be made available to the employees of any company using the following roles:
- Permitted – This will allow all the employees assigned to a company to access the selected service.
- Default Access – If an employee self-registers using the Customer Portal, they will be granted access to this service by default. More than 1 service may be selected.
- No Access – The company and its employees will be restricted from accessing the selected service.
Assign employees to a company
This feature is available to account administrators only.
Use the Employees tab to create a list of company employees.
Employees are users and admins who are affiliated with a specific company. Employees can be manually added to companies, or Service Desk can automatically sort new customers into the appropriate companies using their email domains. Employees can only be assigned to one company at a time.
See Manage Employees for more information.
Enable employee self-registration
This feature is available to account administrators only.
If self-registration is enabled for an account, then automatic employee registration can also be set up.
When automatic employee registration is enabled, Service Desk checks each new customer added to the account to see if their email address uses the company's accepted domain (which is specified during set up). All customers whose email addresses use the specified domain are then automatically added to that company's employees list (in addition to being added as customers). Customers can be marked as employees of up to 1 company.
See Manage Employees for more information.
View incidents for the company
The Incidents tab provides a high-level view of the open and recently closed incidents that are assigned to services that the company has access to (i.e., incidents affiliated with the company).
