In the back-end or the front-end? In the back-end the advanced buttons (canned replies, buckets) cannot be implemented, therefore they are not shown at all.

In the front end

I discover why. If I log in the front end with a super user I see buttons, but if I log with a user who belongs to Tech Support Group (I follow the example in your manual) then no.

My user that belongs to Tech Support Group, must belongs to Administrator Group too. Then he can see Canned Replies buttons.
Is this correct ? It must be just like that ?

Not necessarily so. You have to give the user group in question (Tech Support Group) the Support Staff privilege either for the entire component or for the support category in question. The former can be done by going to the back-end of the component and clicking on Option, then click on the Permissions tab. The latter can be achieved by editing the Category and taking a look at its permissions area at the bottom of the page. In both cases you are assigning privileges the standard Joomla! way. I know for a fact that this does work: this is how my support staff is able to use canned replies on our own site.

I did it "can be done by going to the back-end of the component and clicking on Option, then click on the Permissions tab" and it works.
I think it would be interesting you add this explanation to your manual.

Thanks a lot!!

Note.- I began to translate ATS to Spanish this weekend. I´ll keep you informed.

I thought we had already documented the "Support staff" permissions in our documentation?

I followed the instructions in your ATS´s guide(Chapter 2 Overview & Quick Setup) and it didn´t work until I made your last suggestion.
I am testing your component in a pre-production web.
When I finish testing it, I will install in my web and I will repeat the steps to see if I made a mistake or ignored something. And I will review ATS´s guide.
It´s posible I didn´t see it.

Thanks

Per the instructions. the Sales Staff and Tech Support have the "Support Staff" privilege set to Allowed in each respective category.
