[rt-users] Documenting RT Queue configs?

[Kenneth Crocker]

Howard,

We have over 100 Queues that we use to support a whole slew of software.
Although Rights Matrix does help when I'm curious about who can do what,
your report idea is something I think might come in handy for us. If you
ever get it working, are you going to create an extension for RT to
implement with a future version upgrade? Perhaps under "Tools->Reports"?
