Permissions in v4 versus v3.8.7

Greetings,

We are working towards migrating our RT installation from v3.8.7 to v4.0.4, but have encountered an issue with permissions. We have a queue(maintenance) that gets many requests daily and often fills up the Newest Unowned section of the RT at a Glance. In v3.8.7 we were able to give everyone create ticket rights to the maintenance queue but not view rights. This resulted in everyone being able to submit to the maintenance queue but not see the unowned tickets. In version 4 I have the same settings but the unowned tickets are showing even if the “view queue” is not selected. Is this still possible in version 4? Am I missing something obvious? Thanks.

I’m betting you don’t actually have the same rights setup. “View Queue”
is SeeQueue, and that only controls the visibility of the queue name.
ShowTicket is the right that lets people see tickets in a queue. You
probably have it granted too widely.

Thanks for the help. This did seem to correct the issue, strange though that it worked in 3.8.7.-----Original Message-----
