Um.  Copy it from RT_Config.pm to RT_SiteConfig.pm and modify it
there.o

The documentation I copied that you deleted said what to do.

Nope, SET is invalid, it's Set (copy, don't retype).
Exactly the line you had in RT_Config.pm goes in RT_SiteConfig.pm.

Then you add OwnerSummary to that HomepageComponents line.
(The names OwnerSummary and RequestorSummary are documented in the
DESCRIPTION section of the README shipped with the extension).

@Plugins, not @plugins.  You still haven't shown your plugins configuration.

Most extensions do, this one is underdocumented.

No, don't add that to plugins, you add that to HomepageComponents.

This extension is compatible with 4.0.13.
I'm the developer who contributed a patch to make it compatible with RT4.

Since you don't seem to be following my explanations, I'll copy and
paste the correct configuration here, but then you're on your own.

Set(
    $HomepageComponents,
    [
        qw(QuickCreate Quicksearch MyAdminQueues MySupportQueues MyReminders RefreshHomepage Dashboards SavedSearches OwnerSummary) # loc_qw
    ]
);

Set( @Plugins, qw(RT::Extension::SummaryByUser));

If you use more than one plugin, this @Plugins line is incorrect and
will disable other plugins. You must specify them all in a single
@Plugins line.
