Hi Joe,

You might be able to set up an alternate frontend configured to use
local authentication. Then you could test with that by setting a local
password for the account. What version are you running and are you do
you have Set($UseSQLForACLChecks, 1) in your RT_SiteConfig.pm? Superuser
skips all of the access checks that regular accounts pass through.
