User is failing to create a ticket

I am getting the following error for a user tim.graham@example.com who
is trying to
create a ticket in the help queue. ‘Everyone’ already has the right
to ‘CreateTicket’
for years. It is being triggered by the RT::Authen::ExternalAuth once
in a while.

Should I just change $AutoCreateNonExternalUsers to 1 to fix this issue ?

I am been looking through lots of discussion including one of my old email.
Short from using a User_Local.pm provided by ktm at rice
I don’t see any one solution that fixed the issue. Still crawling through
the mailing list archive.
