Support
How to reach Odden support, what to include in a request, and how support sessions in your workspace work.
If something is wrong or unclear, write to us. A person reads every message.
Contact support
Email support@odden.io. The same address handles questions about billing, refunds, your data and the terms.
What to include
A few details help us answer on the first reply:
| Include | Why |
|---|---|
| Your workspace name | It is the part of the address after cloud.odden.io/. For cloud.odden.io/acme it is acme. |
| What you were trying to do | In a sentence or two. |
| What happened instead | The exact message you saw, if there was one. |
| Where it happened | The page or menu, for example Workspace, Billing. |
| The email address you sign in with | So we find the right account. |
Do not send passwords or card numbers. We never need them.
For a refund, write from the address you paid with. See Billing and the refund policy.
Support sessions
Sometimes the quickest way to help is to see what you see. A support session lets a member of Odden's support team open your workspace as one of its members.
- You let us in. Support needs a one-time code that an owner or admin gives us. Without it we cannot open your workspace, except in an emergency (see below).
- Read-only by default. In a session, support can look but not change anything.
- Changes only if you allow it. You choose the level when you issue the code. Even with changes allowed, support never changes your members, email settings, domains or workspace settings.
- It expires. A session lasts 30 or 60 minutes, as you choose when you issue the code, and never more. It can also be ended earlier.
- It is recorded. Every session is logged with who started it, which member it was opened as, why, for how long, and whether it could make changes.
- You are told. When a session starts, the workspace owners get an email.
Only Odden support staff can start a session, and they must give a reason.
Support also cannot export your workspace or delete it from a session. Those stay with you. See Your data.
Let support in with a one-time code
Owners and admins open Workspace, then Support access, then Allow support.
- Pick a level:
- Standard: look only. The Sensitive area (date of birth, and government, tax or bank identifiers) is hidden.
- Standard plus changes: support can also change records, as a Manager could. The Sensitive area is hidden.
- Full: the Sensitive area is visible too. Only an owner can pick Full. An Also allow changes option lets you add changes to it.
- Pick how long the session may last: 30 or 60 minutes.
- Copy the code and give it to Odden support. It is shown once, on that page only, as eight characters such as
XXXX-XXXX.
The code works once, for exactly the level and time you picked. It expires unused after 30 minutes. Issuing a new code replaces the old one, and you can use Withdraw code at any time. The owners are emailed when a code is issued, replaced, withdrawn or expires.
In an emergency
If something is badly broken and there is no time for a code, an Odden administrator can open a workspace without one. This is recorded as an emergency ("break-glass") session, the owners get an email that says so, and it follows the Emergency limits you set: read-only unless you have allowed changes, and never longer than 60 minutes.
See and manage support access
Owners and admins can open Workspace, then Support access to see every session: when it started, who from Odden support, who it viewed as, the level, whether it was opened with a code or in an emergency, the reason, and whether it is still running.
- End now ends a running session. Support is signed out on its next click.
- Emergency limits has the settings Let support make changes and Let support see the Sensitive area. Both are off by default and only apply to emergency sessions. When you issue a code, the level you pick decides what support can do.
