No open or closed tickets displayed

Hi,

I installed Ubuntu server (Dapper 6.06), and then followed the instructions
at http://howtoforums.net/viewtopic.php?t=48 regarding how to set up RT.

The software used (Request-Tracker3.4, Apache2, Postfix & PostgreSql-7.4)
were all installed from packages.

I have logged onto RT as root and created a couple of users, I have also
created a test queue. The users I have set up can see the general queue and
the test queue. They can create issues which successfully appear on the
system, although it is at this point that I run into problems.
The users can’t see any of their open or closed tickets, but they can see
any ticket if they enter the ticket number in the search box.

Has anyone seen this (or a similar) problem before? Have you got any ideas
about what I may need to look at?

Please let me know if I need to provide any other information and I will try
to get it asap.

Thanks,
Tim

Hi,

As a summary of what I am trying to achieve, I want users (all on-site) to
submit their problems via the self service page, and I want them to be able
to see their own open and closed tickets. I do not want them to be able to
view anyone else’s tickets at this stage.

I have spent quite a bit of time reading round on this and I am still having
no luck, I can’t get the test users submitting a ticket to be able to see
their own tickets. The tickets are created and can be dealt with, but users
can’t see them whether they are open or closed tickets.

I have even tried giving the requestor group every right available to see
if they could view their open and closed tickets, unfortunately I still
couldn’t get that to work.

When I first submitted a mail regarding this issue, users could see any
ticket by typing the ticket number into the goto ticket box, but I have
managed to stop this happening, although they can’t even get to their own
tickets in this way any more.

My symptoms appear to be the same as couple of very old mails in the archive

Although due to the age of these requests it is probably unlikely to be the
same issue.

I changed the rights based on information in the following thread:

For some reason I still can’t get it to work. My current rights settings are
as follows:
Global - Everyone
ModifyCustomField
ModifySelf
SeeCustomField

The following rights are all on the required queue
*Everyone *
CommentOnTicket
CreateTicket
ModifyTicket
ReplyToTicket
SeeQueue

Requestor
ReplyToTicket
SeeQueue
ShowTicket
Watch

Owner
ModifyTicket
ReplyToTicket
ShowTicket

Unfortunately when using these permissions and I create a new ticket with a
test user, I get the following message:
"No permission to view newly created ticket #11. "

Can anyone help? Or can anyone direct me to any example configs?
I spent quite a bit of time on the wiki going through what all the rights
do, I have also bought the RT Essentials book but have so far been unable to
get it right.
Thanks

Tim,

Although we would grant the rights a little differently (we usually 

grant SeeQueue along with ShowTicket and grant SeeOutgoingMail to
everyone on a global basis), I was wondering if the any of the users
(your requestors) are set up as privileged users. If not, then the
rights you grant to roles won’t be applied to them as users.

Hi Kenn,

Thanks for your response.
The requestors are not set up as privileged users, I was under the
impression that they didn’t need to be. I tested setting up the requestors
as privileged users, but it appeared to give them too many rights by
default.

You said you grant SeeQueue to everyone globally, wouldn’t this allow them
to see all queues in the system? I do not want to give users a choice of
queues.

I also only want users to see tickets on one queue, so I assumed it was
better to grant the rights on the queue rather than globally.

I will try to find time to experiment with the settings a little more.

Thanks again for taking the time to respond,
