Great! Thanks for the clarification. Really the only issue I want to
address is that when the mmtest user sees the full UI the '10 newest
unowned tickets' displays tickets from all queues. That's why I thought
that the user being privileged gave a user access to 'everything'.

Sorry if this is a rather basic question, but how would I get the 'mmtest'
user (who is now privileged) to see only tickets from the MMTECH queue and
not see any tickets at all from the Ops queue in their '10 Newest Unowned
Tickets'?

Lastly in 'Queues I administer' how can I limit the members of the mmtech
group to only administer that queue?
