I have customers with hundreds of employees, and a few of them submit
tickets. With RT and RTIR, what’s the best way to allow a customer to
log in and see tickets in both RT and RTIR that users in their company
have submitted? Can I set it up per department as well?
I’ve looked into the custom roles idea, but I’m just not grasping the
concept. Can someone give me a complete example?
Thank you!
Best regards,
Steve

Please excuse the re-post, but I’ve made some progress today, and I
think I just need a tweak. I have the following code in “Custom action
preparation code”:
my $groupname=‘Cust-Customer1’;
Load the custom group from RT
my $groupObj = RT::Group->new($RT::SystemUser);
$groupObj->LoadUserDefinedGroup($groupname);
return undef unless $groupObj;
#This worked #my $admincclist = $self->TicketObj->AdminCc;
#$admincclist->AddMember($groupObj->Id);
Can anyone shed light on how to add a custom role member to a ticket on
create? If I uncomment the admincclist lines, I get it added to the
AdminCC field… but not the Customer custom role. I see no errors in
the rt.log file, which is set to warning.
Thank you!

I’m not sure exactly why it’s not working but you could check out the return value from $self->TicketObj->AddWatcher() and see if there’s any useful information in there since AddWatcher() returns a tuple of (status, message).
Untested code:
my $groupname=‘Cust-Customer1’;
Load the custom group from RT
my $groupObj = RT::Group->new($RT::SystemUser);
$groupObj->LoadUserDefinedGroup($groupname);
return undef unless $groupObj;
#This worked #my $admincclist = $self->TicketObj->AdminCc;
#$admincclist->AddMember($groupObj->Id);
I very much appreciate your response. This is what this gave me:
[27999] [Mon Dec 5 23:22:01 2016] [warning]: AddWatcher Status: 0
((eval 471):14)
[27999] [Mon Dec 5 23:22:01 2016] [warning]: AddWatcher Message: That
role is invalid for this object ((eval 471):15)
The custom role indeed “Applies to” the queue that the ticket was
created in, so I’m confused… scripts don’t support custom roles, maybe?
Best regards,

I’m bumping this old thread for the benefit of future searchers, as I was stuck on this same point of “That role is invalid for this object”.
What made me realize the issue was printing $self->TicketObj->Roles
which showed that a custom role “foo” is not actually called “foo” internally but eg. RT::CustomRole-5
Thus, what you actually need to do in order to add a group to a custom role named Customer is:
my $role = RT::CustomRole->new( $self->CurrentUser );
$role->Load( "Customer" );
my ($success, $msg) = $self->TicketObj->AddWatcher( Type => $role->GroupType, PrincipalId => $groupObj->Id );
