RT users show up in configuration but not on change ticket owner

When I go to change the owner of a ticket, only a few users show up, as
in this screenshot:

However, when viewing the privileged users, there are many more, as in
this screenshot:

What is the reason for this disparity, and can I fix it. I’ve looked at
the user tables in the rt3 database and I see nothing different between
multiple users except for their id’s and creators.

My main problem is that no one can assign tickets to me right now, along
with a couple of other coworkers.

Thanks,
Chris Benard

Do the “missing” users have OwnTicket rights on that queue?

They are all superuser. Only we in IT are the ones who actually log
into the interface. I’ve rigged up a web submission system for everyone
else through a web form via email.

I think I just found the solution, although strange. I went into
groups, and then into Staff, and the only users who were showing up were
the ones in the staff group.

I’m not sure why that’s required since we’re all superusers, but that
seems to have fixed it. This was not required in RT 3.0.6, which is
what I upgraded from to 3.4.2(doing make upgrade and upgrading the
schema etc for each newer version).

As I recall, in 3.4.x the superuser right no longer allows ticket
ownership inherently, to keep root and other accounts like that from
being ticket owners. The reason adding other users to the staff group
worked is likely to be the OwnTicket right assigned to that group.

Glad you got it working.
