Hi, It looks like you have one of two approaches to the responsibilty: "nobody is responsible for anything" or "everybody is responsible for everything" ;) In both cases it's enough to have one Support Group. Why to need more if it's impossible to get reasonable metrics/reports?
On the other hand, users probably just ignore the need for proper incident assignment (too many groups confuses?) and that's the issue rather for managers/process owners then developers. I think Steve is right, the question is - why are users updating someone else's tickets?
