You may want to offer support by email only, without users being aware of the web portal.

To set this up:

1. Make sure users don’t have to validate their accounts. In CRM > Registration, select Enable Registration and disable all the registration and validation requirements. Enable the Everyone group.

2. Optionally, completely disable the portal from Admin > User Interface > Setup using the Disable Portal button.

3. If you want to leave the portal enabled (perhaps because you want it to be available to a certain group of users), you can remove links to the portal from email notifications by editing the templates in Tickets > Email Templates.

1.  **Layout > Footer** - remove this code:
 copy

{% if app.isPortalEnabled() %}
<a href="{{ deskpro_url }}">{{ deskpro_url }}</a>{% endif %}
 copy

2. User Email Templates > Ticket Emails - in “New Ticket Confirmation” template, remove the section referencing ticket.link and save the template:

{% if app.isPortalEnabled() %}
         <br /><br />

          View and manage this ticket online:
          <a href="{{ ticket.link }}">{{ ticket.link }}</a>
        {% endif %}
 copy

3. Repeat above step for “New Ticket Created by Agent”, “New Agent Reply” and “User Reply Auto-Response”.
