01 Enabling the Feature

Before you can restrict access to Agents, you first need to enable the feature on a company level.

To enable this, go to Settings  Company Settings  Mailbox  Restrict eBay case responses.

Once ticked, only limited options relating to refunds will be available for all users except the Admin, for whom all options will remain. 

02 Permitting Access for Users

Once the above option has been enabled and all agents are restricted, you can give individual permission to all case actions. 

Go to Settings → Company Settings → Users → Select the user → Mailbox tab → Enable all eBay case actions. This will give the user full access to eBay case actions.
