[rt-users] Issue with duplicate replies to Owner and AdminCC's

[Kenneth Crocker]

Braam,


	I would make sure the the personnel that are just "Developers" are in a 
group of their own, then grant that group the following rights:

	"CommentOnTicket"
	"CreateTicket"
	"OwnTIcket"
	"ReplyToTicket"
	"SeeQueue"
	"ShowTicket"
	"ShowTicketComments"
	"StealTicket"
	"TakeTIcket"
	"Watch"

	This will allow anyone in that group thekind of rights you'd like for 
developers to have. Then, I would grant these rights to the Role "Owners":

	"DeleteTicket"	
	"ModifyTicket"

	By granting "ModifyTicket" to "Owners" only, you keep all other users 
from messing around with another persons tickets. If they need to make 
comments or reply to email, you only grant them those rights.
	Then, I'd modify your script for "Notify AdminCc on Whatever" to check 
that the ticket owner is not in the AdminCc role for that queue. That 
should take care of an ADminCc getting another email if they are also 
the owner. Hope this helps.
