And I will venture on to say that I understand that there are some
application Role dynamics in play here. Not allowing a DIFFERENT user to
make mods to a ticket that's not theirs or where they are not a member of
the assignee/owner group is completely understandable. But I am still
confused on the business logic behind not allowing a user to update their
own ticket beyond work info entries (which of course is really a separate
submit).

Subject: Incident Submitter and License terms - Dear BMC have you mislead
us?

 

** 

I did a search of this year's listings before I asked this question, so I
apologize if I missed a thread and am dragging up an old subject. I did see
some similar discussions, but nothing specific to this.

 

BMC/Remedy has always promoted the fact that if the server was set to
Submitter Mode-Locked (SML) that any user could submit and modify their own
records (where $USER$ = Submitter Field ID 2). In ITSM 7.6.04, that level of
permission equates to Incident Submitter.

 

So I have a user that is set up as Incident Submitter with a Read license
attached to that role and a Read AR license. The user can submit tickets BUT
cannot modify their own incident tickets (where $USER$ = Submitter Field ID
2). There is actually workflow in place to prevent this. In order for them
to modify their own record, I have to bump that user up to Incident User
level, which then requires a Fixed or Floating license.

 

So my question is: Is that not in conflict with one of the major sales
arguments BMC made to our organizations, that being our users could submit
and modify their own records without a Fixed or Floating license?
