those two lines are useless, $currentUser and $RT::SystemUser are
already objects, $workingUser and $systemUser are just empty users
objects

there is different way to do this, it depends on the final purpose, but
the simplest way to get all priviledged users is:

my $PrivilegedUsers = RT::Users->new ( $RT::SystemUser );
$PrivilegedUsers->LimitToPrivileged;

the walk this with:

while ( my $PrivilegedUser = $PrivilegedUsers->Next ) {
    ...things to do with user object $PrivilegedUser
}
