[rt-users] Question about Query Builder

[Jeremy Stinson]

Jay,

That is my issue, thank you for describing it in better RT terms :) I 
understand that separate customer queues is not how this system was designed 
but my issue, and please let me know if there is a good way to solve this, 
is that there are multiple customers contacts per customer and the customer 
wants to see all open tickets. And, they want separate user IDs...

As a short term "fix", I did edit the /Elements/Tabs so that only people 
with certain rights will have access to that link. I think this is a decent 
solution since most users will not need that report functionality. What I 
will most likely do is create some canned reports for them and possibly 
create a new tab for reporting.

Let me know what you think.

Thanks,

Jeremy
