Like me, I suspect you're using RT to track outward-facing tickets (for
multiple external organizations) rather than in an internal
(corporate/university) environment... and you've discoverd, as I have,
that RT isn't really designed for that; it doesn't provide obvious ways
to group tickets for access and reporting based on those external
administrative spans of control.

I'm still looking for the best solution to this myself; I'm not yet a
proficient RT hacker, though I suspect that it could be extended to
understand "clients" in a more first-class way than it does now.  I'll
be watching with interest to see what replies you get here.
