You can install other authentication methods via plugins or connectors for external IAM (eg. SSO, SAML, OpenID, etc.).

IT DOESNT WORK IN AMAZON
I really dont recomment anyone to use this, cause there are no documentations in AWS in order to help users to deploy the app.
All istructuions are truncated, worst support ever
Dont buy it form Amazon, cause you will have no support, but you will pay
Easy to use

We have the ability to update the frequency of how often tickets come in.
After replying to an email we can resolve it, and if there is a reply the ticket will opens up again.

A Non-Ideal Ticketing Software
What do you like best about the product?
One of the features that I like about Request tracker is how it enables creation of Custom Dashboards for different processes and how we can share the same with a group of people in the company who might need to see the number of tickets and the details of the tickets right in the software itself. And then comes its seamless Email integration with the Active Directory of our organization.
What do you dislike about the product?
The way how the UI looks for this tool is not that great as some other ticketing software that other organizations generally use viz., Service Now, etc. However, what I've heard from the Enterprise team at our company is the absence of the nice look and feel is complemented by its seamless command line utility admin capabilities as well as the solution's pricing. And of course, another add-on this tool is missing is the problem with any ticket's timer. For example, when a Service Desk Analyst responds to a User ticket and stalls the ticket the ticket doesn't explicitly stops the timer. This produced a problem in our Service Metrics Reporting Activity.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Currently, the Request tracker is our sole Service Desk Management tool which forms the basis of communication between us and our clients, users. We are able to email our users about the latest developments with their requests, respond to any Major Incidents reported by them to us.
