[rt-users] Configuring RT for customer logins

[Kenneth Crocker]

Joel,


	Try this: grant All the privileges for "Searches" Globally to 
"Privileged". Then grant "SeeQueue" and "CreateTicket" at the Queue 
level to "Privileged". Then grant "ShowTicket", "ShowOutgoingEmail", and 
"ReplyToTicket" at the Queue level to "Requestrors". That should give 
you a good start. Permissions are difficult to grasp at first (at least 
they were for me). I've found that a good rule to follow is to not grant 
too much at a high level. I never grant rights to Users and only to 
groups. I only grant the "Search" stuff and "ModifySelf" at the GLOBAL 
level. The rest is always for certain groups for certain queues. This 
works for me, but I have about 115 queues for technicaL support of 
different software applications and infrastructure support. Your 
installation may not need to be so protective or granular. Hope this helps.
