[rt-users] Grouping requestors by organisation?

[Howard Jones]

Ah - I should have specified a bit better :-)

We already have queues based on product line, and a single e-mail address to
feed them - mail goes into the General queue and gets sorted by us into the
right queue. What I'm really after is some way to either manually tag
existing users as being related and able to see each other's tickets, or to
look up the user in an external database, and then do the same.

The ultimate aim is to have Company X users be able to log in to a portal of
some sort and see information from other sources, along with a list of 'Your
open RT tickets' that includes their colleagues tickets. I'm hoping that
external auth will do part of that, but I don't think it will do the
group-access part.

Regards,

Howard
