billing didn’t have permission to create a ticket in the service queue
service replies to billing “Correspondence not recorded, permission denied”
Only my queue addresses seem to have problems with this “permission
denied” issue – other random users can create a ticket no problem.
Frankly, this seems dumb to me on two levels – one, RT should have built
in loop detection so it won’t clobber itself this way; two, I have no
idea now how to correctly set the permissions. I’m making haphazard “feel
good” changes assigning various groups more permissions, etc., but am not
sure what I’m really doing.
Can anyone point me in the right direction to a) clear up this loop
problem, b) better understand RT2 groups/users & permissions?
Thanks much,
Dave

RT shouldn’t be looping with itself. It just should not happen.
I’m way too tired to cope right now but will try to have a look tomorrow.
There was a discussion between me and one of the good folks at west.nl about
which permissions do what around the first week of april or the last week
of march that needs to get cleaned up and added to the docs. Besides that,
you might want to have a look at the install and config docs at http://www.helgrim.com/rtdocs. It contains some recommendations for default permissions.On Sun, Aug 05, 2001 at 09:48:49PM -0400, David C. Troy wrote:

No – this is just once instance clobbering itself, not two. Although
I’ve had fun with two instances going at each other before, too.
I’ve read the docs about the permissions. I think the situation may be
exacerbated because this was an RT1->RT2 import and I’m not at all clear
on what permissions were set in that process.
I’m going to try to slog through it again and see what specific questions
I come up with. A general solution to the looping problem would be a good
idea nonetheless.
Thanks,
Dave

To make sure that your staff can work with tickets, you should grant
them all the following additional rights:
“ShowTicket”
“ShowTicketComments”
“Watch”
“WatchAsAdminCc”
“OwnTicket”
“ModifyTicket”

Make a group (Configuration - Groups - Create a new group), add all
employees to this group (Configuration - Groups - -
Members) and give the group the appropriate rights (Configuration -
Global - Group Rights).
Should be no more than roughly 35 clicks in total

You could add them to a global group that has this rights.
You just need to create a group, let’s say called “Tech”. You then set group
permissions. And add your staff to this group. They will all have the same
privileges.
