Emailed ticket creation and portal view

I added all of the employees to have standard portal access to fix my problem.
The company "operations officer" does not want employees to have portal access even though I explained that with standard access, they can only see their incidents and no others. I'm going to make sure your suggestion

Hi Charles,
The Incident has to be linked to a Customer (can't be blank or linked to unknown) and Show in Portal must be checked. You can set Show in Portal to check by default if you go to Configure > Services > Service Name > Incidents > Default Selections.
