Re: [rt-users] Autocreated on ticket submission - Quert Builder
Point 2) That is the way it is defined. The everyone group is only allowed the Comment, Create and Reply as we auto create tickets. No user is given any direct Rights. All rights are queue specific and is assigned to groups. Point 1) there is now way I can go though 100 000 non privileged accounts and uncheck hte Allow user to Access RT Box. Please help, is there any way to add it to the RT_SiteConfig file and rerun it to disable the allow user to access RT flag?

Re: [rt-users] Autocreated on ticket submission - Quert Builder
My understanding is that if you do this, that user will not be able to email issues into your RT instance. Is that what you want? If users are showing up in the owner box on the query page, they are getting OwnTicket from somewhere. RTx::RightsMatrix would be very helpful for tracking this down.

[rt-users] Autocreated on ticket submission - Quert Builder
Hi Alll, I have a problem that has shown up over the last week. It looks as if every single person who has ever submitted a ticket request has had a user autocreated. These users now how up in query builder when we try and do a search on the owner. Selecting the owner shows every single email address of every person who has ever submitted a support request. Any ideas how to prevent this from happening?

Re: [rt-users] Autocreated on ticket submission - Quert Builder
Bashir, You need to fix your permissions. Somewhere you are letting every address own a ticket. That is what determines what shows up in the pull-down. Happy hunting.

Re: [rt-users] Autocreated on ticket submission - Quert Builder
Bashir, What Mike was telling you is that if the BOTTOM box is checked for a user, they can have privileges. This means that if you grant the OwnTicket right globally to Privileged users, then all these requestors that send in tickets via email will have the right to OWN a ticket, hence they appear on the drop-down. So, you can do a couple different things to resolve this. 1) Uncheck the bottom box on these Users. This could turn out to be a long, ongoing process unless you can set your RT_SiteConfig.pm file to allow them to become unprivileged users only (Top box checked ONLY). I'm not sure what that setting is, perhaps Mike knows. 2) Remove the Global settings for OwnTicket and perhaps others like TakeTicket, StealTIcket, DeleteTicket, etc. from Privileged Users or Everyone and grant those rights to groups of users. That way privileges are more defined in who can do what and your queries will run MUCH faster as well. Hopes this helps.
