Good idea, Dan. I think I would lock it down further by doing what ITSM does - show the user's tickets in a table field, and restrict (if you wish) their ability to open the individual items from that in a Dialog only. Give them columns that show the Status and other basic info, and maybe a means to view the work log, if you want that exposed to the customer.
