[rt-users] refine Watch and WatchAsAdminCc or new role?

[Kenneth Crocker]

Payam,

I can think of a couple ways to do this.
First off, it sounds like all those supervisors shouild be in a group with
the same privileges. We NEVER grant rights to individual users. Too much
maintenance in the long term and too difficult to resolve rights issues when
some rights are granted to users and some to groups and many rights granted
redundantly.
Once you have them all in a group, you can write a scrip to add them as
ticket Cc watchers for any ticket when the From address is from one of those
in that group. Once that is done, they will get emails notifications for any
scrip you create for that Queue.
You can also, create a scrip to add all Cc's from an email to the ticket as
Cc watchers for that ticket for a specific Queue. That way, whenever they
send in an email they just have to make sure the other supervisors are
listed as Cc's in the email and the scrip will add them.
Those are just a couple ways, first off. but I'm sure there are a couple
others using rights and groups, etc.
