Specifying what queues can be seen on the "RT at a glace" page on a per user basis

Hi List.
I’m using RT 3.6.0pre1 on RHEL4. We use the system to manage requests
for IT support in the company.
I’ve created 2 IT Support queues, one for each of our sites. When
personnel log into RT at the “RT at a glance” they see tickets from both
queues. What i would like is that when support personnel from site A
login they would only see tickets from Queue A, personnel from Site B
would see site B tickets etc…
Is there a per user preference that i can change to aquire this
behaviour or maybe something in permissions i can change ?.
Thanks

Hi Ian,

You can do this with groups.

Create two groups (Configuration → Groups → New Group) one for site A
staff and one for site B staff. Make all users associated with site A
members of the site A group etc.

Edit the group rights for Queue A and Queue B respectively and only
privilege the associated group with SeeQueue, OwnTicket etc.

Thank you Everybody for their suggestions. Creating some groups and
changing the appropriate permissions done the trick. I have one small
annoyance remaining though. The default queue for “Quick Ticke Create”
is the same for both of my groups. Does anyone know of a way i can
change the default queue depending on the user or group ?

regards,
Ian

Have you given everyone a global SeeQueue right? If so, remove it, set
the groups to see their own queue and it should display the way you wish.

Drew,
Yes, but i need this permission so that personnel can move a ticket from
one queue to the other. I also want personnel to be able to create a
ticket on the other queue. This is a requirement. If i remove the
SeeQueue permission this is not possible.
Thanks,
Ian

so you have two conflicting requirements. pick one and move on.

Have you tried this patch: http://wiki.bestpractical.com/index.cgi?SelectDefaultQueue (I have not, but it sounds like what you’re looking for)?
