Comments: 1st line
• The 1st Line Support team is primarily expected to monitor and act on young (less than 24 hours old) SAM alarms no distinction between ROD and 1st line
• They should also provide technical assistance to sites directly. 1st Line Support members should be technically skilled in understanding and solving OPS problems two groups of people with different level of expertise (1st line and 2nd line uspport)
• Assist sites with incidents/alarms in general; respond to requests from sites for assistance ok but ownership of complex tickets passed on to 2nd line team
• Modify any GGUS ticket body up to the solved by site status. ROD will close the ticket accordingly 1st line and 2nd line operate on a different set of tickets, each team is responsible of following their tickets upon resolution and of closing them

Comments: ticket handling
• Tickets are generated for a site by ROD, but 1st Line Support can update tickets through the GGUS https://gus.fzk.de/pages/home.php interface. They can also communicate with the site about the ticket through this system.
• Tickets are closed by ROD when they have been modified to the "solved by site" status. 1st Line Support is not allowed to close tickets.

Comments: ROD
• An ROD team is provided by each ROC. It is responsible for handling operational tickets for sites in their respective region. It is proposed that ROD has authority over 1st Line Support duties, which means that if some duties are not covered by 1st Line Support then they shall be done by ROD. This is reflected in ROD duties marked as Mandatory with a “if not handled by 1st Line Support” in the table in the following sections. not applicable in our case
