We are faced with the same issue. We want an external facing web page but we don't want users of that web page from accessing any one else's. An aproach we are taking is to direct the customer to a control panel and restrict what he can see through Active Links. We are still discussing how we will allow the external to access the page, whether to punch wholes in the firewall or use reverse proxy. But, the customer will have only one url he can access and only after he logs ins (he will have to register with us first). That web page will produce a control panel. Since the customer logged in, we will show him only his tickets and, if he is part of a group, tickets pertaining to his group. If he tries to view a ticket submitted by someone else, it will fail our qualification and will produce no records. Hope this gives you some idea.

We have external customers that are wanting to view their tickets and related information. One large customer has various departments that it wants to see only their departments information while the IT group sees tickets for the entire company. I thought I had this locked down with filters on the customer and site name but someone found a hole by doing a partial search. I have fixed that issue but now I am tasked to find the Best Practice for allowing customers to view tickets. Any suggestions are appreciated.
