[rt-users] Creating custom fields with non-root account?

[Kenneth Crocker]

Stefan,

The ability to create/configure a Queue could easily be given Globally to a
particular Group by granting that Group the 'SuperUser' right. This would
also enable that Group to create/configure/modify Custom Fields. Someone *
already* having the "SuperUser" right navigates thus:

Tools->Configuration->Global->GroupRights->(SelectGroup)->SuperUser

The ability to create/configure a Custom Field could also easily be given
Globally to a particular Group by granting that Group the
'AdminCustomFields' right. This would also enable that Group to
create/configure/modify Custom Fields. Someone *already* having the
"SuperUser" right navigates thus:

Tools->Configuration->Global->GroupRights->(SelectGroup)-> AdminCustomFields

However, if it is your desire to restrict this ability to *applying* a
Custom Field to a specific Queue, then you do NOT want to grant that right
Globally. Just grant the 'AssignCustomFields' for Custom Fields Globally to
a group :

Tools->Configuration->Global->GroupRights->(SelectGroup)->
AssignCustomFields

OR grant the ability *configure a specific* Custom Field:

Tools->Configuration->CustomField->(Select Custom
Field)->GroupRights->(SelectGroup)->AdminCustomFields OR
AdminCustomFieldValues (depending on what you want).

It really depends on exactly what you want to let them do at what level.

Hope this helps.

Kenn
