Hey There I think you need to use "NOT LIKE"
IE Queue = 'General' AND Owner = 'Nobody' AND ('CF.{category}' exists AND 'CF.{category}' NOT LIKE 'one') Thanks Bryon Baker Network Operations Manager Copesan - Specialists in Pest Solutions 800-267-3726 Ext. 2296 • 262-783-6261 Ext. 2296 bba...@copesan.com www.copesan.com "Servicing North America with Local Care" -----Original Message----- From: rt-users [mailto:rt-users-boun...@lists.bestpractical.com] On Behalf Of Eierschmalz, Bernhard Sent: Thursday, June 30, 2016 10:03 AM To: martin.whel...@greenhills-it.co.uk Cc: rt-users@lists.bestpractical.com Subject: Re: [rt-users] Permission causes wrong search-results Hi, I'm sorry but this doesn't work - Request tracker sais "wrong query" if I try to run the search with "'CF.{category}' exists" Message is: Wrong query, expecting a OPERATOR in ....

For this situation you would need somthing like: Queue = 'General' AND Owner = 'Nobody' AND ('CF.{category}' exists AND 'CF.{category}' != 'one') Best Regards Martin On 2016-06-30 10:39, Eierschmalz, Bernhard wrote: > Hello, > > I'm using RT 4.4.0 > > I found the following problem: > > I have a custom field "category" with settings "select one value". > There are 5 possible values. > > I build a search for all tickets like the following > > Queue = 'General' AND Owner = 'Nobody' AND 'CF.{category}' != 'one' > > I found that the search results ignore the part CF.{category} != 'one' > and shows all tickets, no matter which category. > > I tested with CF.{category} = 'one' and this works - it shows all the > ticket with category 'one' > > I used the same search with root-user, and it always works as expected > - so I thought this would be a problem with permissions. > > My default-user has the following permissions on this queue: > > "general rights" à all > > "Rights for Staff" à all but "delete tickets" and "forward messages > outside of RT" > > "rights for Administrators" à no permissions > > My next try was changing the permissions of the custom field. > > I found out that, as soon as the user has the permission "General > rights" à "view custom fields" on the "category"-Custom field, the > search is working as expected. > > So in short: > > Search on the CF with = operator works always, > > Search on the CF with != operator works only, if the user has "view > custom fields" permission on the custom field. > > So I have a possible solution now, but I would like to understand how > this error occurs.
