[rt-users] non-root users not seeing custom attribute fields in new ticket form or mody ticket form

[Kenneth Crocker]

Tom,


	If I understand your question, you are wondering why a particular 
Custom Field is not visable when creating a ticket, even if the user is 
root. The answer is related to how RT links Custom Fields to a ticket. 
The user or user privileges "SeeCustomField", "ModifyCustomField", and 
"AdminCustomField" refer to what a user can do to a Custom Field IF )and 
IF is the pertinate word here) the Custom Field has been applied to a 
queue. In other words, the User rights (for a CF) don't mean anything 
unless the Custom Field has already been applied to the tickets in a 
queue. Hope this helps.
