[rt-users] Help with RT permissions

Thank you for the reply, Ruslan. :-)

What I have tried to do is give Privileged SeeQueue and Requestor  
ShowTicket. I thought that if I did this, everyone who has "Let this  
user be granted rights" would be able to see every queue and that  
Requestors would only be able to see their own tickets.

This logic works except that the queues will not display in "Quick  
search".

For example, if a user logs in who has these rights and tickets that  
they are listed as the Requestor of, they cannot see any queues in  
"Quick search"--even if they click Edit, there are no queues listed  
to be selected. If the same user, however, goes to Simple Search and  
types in their email address, their tickets appear and they can view  
the them--the query executed is "(  Requestor LIKE 'name at domain.tld' )"

Are there any fallacies in the way that I'm thinking about this?
