• Confirm the user's account and affected service through approved internal checks before making permitted access changes or sharing troubleshooting instructions.
• Record symptoms, issue categories, impact, and troubleshooting steps in the ticket so another agent can understand the situation without repeating questions.
• Guide users through approved password resets, account access recovery, browser checks, and basic desktop software troubleshooting using clear, step-by-step instructions.
• Investigate basic network connectivity problems remotely, checking connection status and isolating whether the issue affects one application or the user's broader connection.
• Use approved troubleshooting guides, test each suggested step with the user, and explain what to expect before proceeding with changes.
• Escalate unresolved issues, repeated failures, or requests beyond your access permissions to technical specialists, notifying the help desk team lead when prioritization is needed.
• Follow up on pending tickets, share progress updates, confirm that service is restored, and record the user's confirmation before closing resolved requests.
