[rt-users] ModifyTicket required to close tickets?

[Jo Rhett]

In this case I want this given to all Privileged users.   (sorry,  
should have clarified that "user" meant Privileged user)

The vast majority of our tickets remain owned by Nobody.   We only  
assign them if only one person can accomplish it.   Day to day normal  
support tickets remain unowned.  (Given that when someone owns a  
ticket, nobody else can simply reassign it to themselves without a  
multi-step process, this is how we work)

Obviously I can change that, but forcing people to take ownership of a  
ticket (multiple steps) just to answer a customer and close the ticket  
is bad.  Never make it harder for a support person to do their job :-(
