[rt-users] [BULK] RE: question about watchers

[Kenneth Crocker]

Nelson,


	Not to discourage you but, many have tried to get "Approvals" to work 
in RT and have failed. That's why we created our "Requests" queue. We 
use it like an "Approvals" queue, but we can control how it acts (and 
the privileges) more easily than the RT version.
