A former administrator has set up RT here, and I’ve just inherited the
administration of it - so I’m not familiar with install or config.
According to the user guide, creating new users is “the same as
modifying your own account, except that you must fill in a username as
well.”
Ok, so the account I use, which the former administrator set up for me,
has “Admin” privileges to modify users and the queues. So, I login to
the admin-webrt interface with my account and pw, and click “Modify your
RT Account”. I can change my account’s information - or anyone else’s,
if I go to the queue modify interface and click the links for the
queue’s members - except for the username. It remains static text on the
html page, not as an editable form field.
What am I missing? Can one create users from the command line with SQL?

when you go to webrt.cgi. Note the first line under User Configuration.
Just type a username and hit "Create a user called"On Mon, Apr 03, 2000 at 02:59:44PM -0400, Neil Curri wrote:

Thanks, Jesse. All I see when I login is The "Modify your RT Account"
under User Configuration, and "Modify the Queue called ". I don’t see the addtional form fields as in the
screenshot. There must be a global Admin account for all queues which I
would have to use to login and create additional users…?
Ah. you probably aren’t an RT administrator. try the username
“root” with the password “wordpass”, unless your predecessor changed
the password.
If s/he did:
from a unix cli:
mysql -u root rt
update users set password = ‘new_password’ where users.user_id = ‘root’;
then log in as root.On Mon, Apr 03, 2000 at 03:26:57PM -0400, Neil Curri wrote:
