Have you looked at the SelfService interface 
(http://your.rt.server/SelfService)?  It is much less cluttered and by 
default lets an unprivileged user see only tickets they have opened or 
(with one click) resolved tickets they have requested.

If end users are left unprivileged, they will be directed there by 
default.
