[rt-users] Preventing users from viewing other user info

No, in fact, I haven't figured this one out yet.  I searched the manuals and
the FAQs and found nothing helpful.  I searched the mailing list archives
and found a similar question from Jared Greeno on 17 Aug 2001.  He didn't
get an answer, either.

Jared, did you end up figuring this out?

Jesse, throw us a bone here--at least write in and tell us "I dunno, it
works for me".  :-)  It seems that at least three users have run into this
problem.

Oh yeah, since I didn't say it in my earlier mail:
RT 2.0.11pre
Red Hat 7.1
MySQL 3.23.47
(ummm...anything else you need to know?)

Kendric,

I saw your post to the rt-users group (attached below). 

I have the same problem with my RT system.  Did you ever figure out what the
problem is?
I didn't see any responses to your question, so I'm hoping you figured it
out yourself.

Hmm, I just gave this a try: I grabbed my user called "mrtest" and set him
up like this: 
[x] Let this user access RT 
[ ] Let this user be granted rights 
Then I logged out, and logged back in as mrtest. 
Sure enough, I'm looking at the SelfService interface (I assume that's what
this is, anyway). 
But clicking all the links just leaves me on the same page.  Even "logout"
doesn't work.  I'll have to close my browser session and restart so I can
login as myself again.
Do I have something misconfigured somewhere?  In case it matters, mrtest
does not have any open tickets, so nothing is showing up in his limited
screen.
