See others tickets

Josef · November 3, 2010, 12:49pm

Hello,
I would like to have a “shared” queue, where would all users see
others tickets. Not just tickets submited by a user itself. Is this even
possible in RT? Any suggestions, how to set it up?

Thank you,
Josef

Josh_Narins · November 3, 2010, 12:53pm

Configuration->Queues->Select Your-Shared-Queue

Choose “Group Rights” from the top menubar.

Give “Everyone”, or maybe just “Privileged,” any rights you want all users to have on that queue.

Sure, just go to Configuration->Queue->YourQueue->GroupRights and grant
“ShowTicket” to pseudo group “Unpriviledged”.

Josef · November 3, 2010, 6:57pm

I have created a new queue called user, added group rights ShowTicket,
SeeQueue, CreateTicket to a group unpriviliged. Then I have added two
users. Now, if user1 creates a ticket, he sees it in “My open tickets”
when he logs in. But if user2 logs in, he doesn’t see any tickets in his
“My open tickets” list. I want him to see the ticket of user1, so he
won’t report the same problem as user1.

I would think you would have to rewrite the query for My Open Tickets for people to see other people’s open tickets in the list.

add something like

or ( Queue is ‘user’ and status != ‘resolved’ )

So RT can’t do this? It’s not very usefull, since when some service
gets down, we would have numerous of duplicite issues, as all users
would try to report it…

That’s what the “Newest Unowned Tickets” queue is for, the default second box in the left column of the home page is for.

Josh_Narins · November 3, 2010, 8:42pm

Sorry, not “Queue,” but saved-search/dashboard.

Josef · November 3, 2010, 8:46pm

Yes, but only priviledged users see this… I don’t want end users to
change my settings. Unpriviledged user sees only its requests, or is
there a way to add Newest Unowned dashboard to them?

Dne 11/3/10 9:42 PM, Josh Narins napsal(a):

Josh_Narins · November 3, 2010, 8:49pm

Offhand I don’t know where the query for Unprivileged user’s homepage is stored.

I’m sure that if you can find it, it can be altered to show almost anything.

I have modified the SelfService a bit to see Queue Tickets. Attached is
an archive. I believe, this can be added into upstream to.

Hi,

You’re talking about self service. And this interface is around
tickets where the current user is a watcher(requestor, cc, admincc or
owner).

You did everything right with rights, however you want to add a box to
self service page, for example “recently reported issues” or something
like that.

If it doesn’t work for you then move your users from Unpriv to Priv
and give them full UI.On Wed, Nov 3, 2010 at 11:38 PM, Josef pepus@p-h-a.cz wrote:

“Privileged” in RT does not mean that a user is able to change system
settings. It means that a user gets the full UI instead of SelfService and
shows up by default in the user list in the Configuration area (which is
only accessible by users rights including ShowConfigTab, Admin*, and
SuperUser) and that it is possible to assign the user various rights.

I forgot to mention files from the tarball should be extracted into
installation directory of RT 3.8.8. So you should end with:

local/html/SelfService
local/html/SelfService/QueueTickets.html
local/html/SelfService/Elements
local/html/SelfService/Elements/Tickets
local/html/SelfService/Elements/Tabs

in the directory where you install RT version 3.8.8.

The reasons for creating this SelfService extension was, that we don’t
want to give customers full UI. We only want the customer can view
tickets for his company. We have groups of users with permissions to
view corresponding queues.

This code should replace old extension GroupService that exist in the
past for RT 2.x after we move to latest RT.

I wrote the code using loc(), so full localisation is possible and I did
it for Czech language. Menu option “Queue tickets” is not shown in the
case the user has no permission to view tickets in any queue.

Can someone review the changes to include this into share/html upstream?

Wouldn’t it be easier if you could create a group per customer and let
all the users in that group see the tickets from each other?
Of course there are different approaches possible to the same issue

I hope, that it is exactly what I did.
Users from the same customer group can view each others tickets.
The SelfService with this modification can be used for it, no need for
full UI. Users can be unprivileged, no need to cope the more complex UI
for end users.
