Hi,

Okay,  I see what is happening.  There is a user that is disabled with 
the same email address.

1) how do I delete a user?  I have not been able to find the

2) how do I reactivate a user?

3) I had to specifically search for the user name because the user did 
not show up in the "Privileged users" list even after I checked the 
"Include disabled users in search." and click "go"

4) It'd be nice if the logs explained which user has been disabled. 
This is the relevant log entry:

---- snip -----
[Wed Apr  4 13:04:40 2007] [error]: Disabled User:  109 failed access 
check for CreateTicket (/usr/local/rt3/lib/RT/Principal_Overlay.pm:307)
----  snip ----

Looking forward to a response.

Cheers,

Noah
