Hi all,
I’ve got an issue with RT at a glance global configuration not working. I
want only “Dashboards” to be visible on the homepage after a user logs in.
I’ve set the following in tools > configuration > Global > RT at a Glance
RT at a glance body: Dasboards
RT at a glance: Summary: blank
When logging in as root this applies fine.
When logging in as any other users ( we use RT External Auth) it does not
apply.
I also tried setting:
Set ( $HomepageComponents, [qw(Dashboards)]); in RT_SiteConfig.pm
But that didn’t work either.
Users can access Dashboards fine, so it doesn’t appear to be a permissions
issue, i just want them only to be able to see their dashboards rather than
have to navigate to them.
Could anyone assist please? RT Version is 4.0.1, External Auth is version
0.12
Many thanks.

Do these users have their own homepage settings from previous
use/customization? You will need to reset that, or just clear their
homepage preferences in the Attributes table in the database.

HomepageComponents doesn’t forcibly turn off components in 4.0.
It will in 4.2

With 4.0.1, you could be running into some bug (4.0.17 is current) but
start by resetting homepage settings for one of your external auth
users and seeing if that fixes it.
Homepages are also cached in the session, so you need to log in and
out.

No, they’ve never been able to set them “no permissions to set preferences”
was the error they got. How would I go about clearing the homepage
preferences anyway?

I’ve tried that, but will clear the mason cache/ reboot the server to see
if it has any effect.

Will report back tomorrow morning. Thanks so far.

As the relevant user - Settings → RT at a Glance, although if they
don’t have ModifySelf they may not be able to get there and you may
need to go look in the Attributes table for rows with a name of
Pref-HomepageSettings and then use /opt/rt4/sbin/rt-attributes-viewer
with the id of the row to see what user has an override.
