[rt-users] [FOUND WHY] transaction batch doesn't always get executed

[Mathieu Longtin]

After firing up the old debugger, I found out that when RT is trying to
figure out what scrip to run in "TransactionBatch" mode, it gets a list of
transaction types by calling this:

    join( ',', map $_->Type, grep defined, @{$batch} )

in Ticket_Overlay::DESTROY. Unfortunately, permissions get in the way, and
the Harris account is "Unprivileged", but Zonker is "Privileged". I didn't
realize that until now.

Anyway, an unprivileged user is not allowed to see transaction types, so it
never runs TransactionBatch scrips.

The quick fix is to make Type public in
Transaction_Overlay::_OverlayAccessible.
          Type => { public => 1},

But there is probably a reason why it's not accessible. Is there a way for
one line of code to override the permission system?

Just lost a day figuring this out
