The only way I know to restrict queues to certain groups is with multi-tenancy, and if you haven't already implemented it you probably cannot change it now - it's a sea change for the entire application. If your non-shared queue only exists in one company, no support staff homed in other companies will be able to see it to manually select it unless they are explicitly given access to that company. We put all of the shared queues (ALL support staff can see them) in a separate Ticket Transfer company, to which all support staff are given access. The support group queues in the separate operational companies are ONLY visible to the internal company members. If we need to have two groups homed in different companies collaborating on a process in a shared queue, we will make a third company with one support org and one support group. The members of the two groups that need to collaborate must be given access to this third company, and be given permissions and roles in that company in order to use the new queue. Note that you have to create at least one new user account homed in the new operational company - it can be a dummy account -the workflow for creating the operational company enforces this.
Even with multi-tenancy, I have not seen where you can differentiate between which application you are using in a given support group queue. If you have application permissions to Incident Management, and access to the operational company that contains the support group queue in question, you will be able to see it and assign Incidents to it manually, even though you only wanted it to be used for Change Requests. When you set up assignment rules, you should be able to build separate ones for Incident, Problem, and Change based on the selected applications in the Available Systems section of the assignment configuration record.

Is it possible to have a support team only in Change & Problem but not in Incident? We have setup our assignment mappings to the correct shared queue but people are manually assigning to the non-shared queues (the shared queues are on call queues too that will send a page to someone when a ticket is assigned there). We also have one team that wants to assign all their incidents to a location based queue but all their Problems & Changes to a single queue.
