Hi Kenn, hi everybody,
Thank you for your answer. I was expecting the same behaviour as you.
But for my unpleasant surprise, a user who only has
- "ShowConfigTab" global right for himself.
- "ShowAprovalsTab" global right for Privileged users. And
- "CreateTicket" and "SeeQueue" in some queues as Everyone's rights in
those queues.
can do nothing harmful with the single exception of modifying the global
RT at a glance.
This behaviour has surprised me probably as much as you. Because of it,
I want that someone else checks this configuration in order to see
whether it is my fault (I am doing something wrong) or it is a RT bug
(this happens to everybody, but it shouldn't).
Greetings,
Carlos
PS: I found somewhere a RT installation for testing purposes, but users
grants, including root, where so restricted, that I couldn't
reproduce the configuration I wanted.

Carlos,
I may be mistaken, butI think the "ShowConfigTab" merely allows the
user to see that tab and the functions under it. The user still needs to
have other rights (like "ShowTemplate" and "ModifyTemplate") in order to
see/modify templates and I'm sure the same situation exists for other
objects to be modified.

Sorry for posting this twice, but I'm trying to make it shorter.
Please, can anyone confirm me that a user who only has the global
right "ShowConfigTab" is able to modify the global RT at a glance?
I'm using RT 3.8.2 and I would like to know if either I'm doing
something wrong or this is the expected behaviour. If this were the
second case, should this be considered a bug?
For a longer explanation, attached you can find my previous message.
Thanking you in advance,
Carlos

[rt-users] Rights issue on Configuration -> Global -> RT at a glance

Hello,
I've a question/request about RT that I have been neither able to
resolve from myself, nor have I found it at the RT wiki or googling
this mailing list.
I'm newbie using RT. I'm installing an organizational RT (ver. 3.8.2).
We have some departments that are autonomous of each other. Thus, I
want to grant some privileges for every admin group of each
department. I want to allow them to handle their own queues, groups,
etc. But I also want not to allow them to modify others space. I have
achieved this configuration, i.e. admins are only able to see their
groups, admins can see all queues but they are only allowed to modify
some properties (Cc, AdminCc,...) of their own queues but not other
queues. In order to do that I have granted them the global right
"ShowConfigTab". Otherwise they had rights but they couldn't use them
(they couldn't modify group membership of their groups,...).
The problem I'm suffering is this: When I grant the "ShowConfigTab"
right to a user or group, I'm also granting privileges to modify the
global RT at a glance. Let me show an example: Let me create a user
foo who can be granted rights ("Let this user be granted rights" is
checked). This new user isn't a member of any group, so he has no
right rather than "Everyone" and "Privileged". At this moment, global
rights for these groups are the default (no global right for
"Everyone", and only "ShowApprovalsTab" for "Privileged"). In some
queues "Everyone" has two rights "CreateTicket" and "SeeQueue", but as
far as I know they only grant privileges for creating a new ticket in
these queues. Let this user be granted the global "ShowConfigTab"
right ( "Configuration" -> "Global" -> "User Rights", and there foo is
granted to "ShowConfigTab"). Now let foo log in. This user can see the
configuration tab, but he can't modify anything since he is not
allowed to. If he tries to modify anything RT won't allow it and foo
will read a permission denied message. But if foo goes to
"Configuration" -> "Global" -> "RT at a glance" and there he deletes
"QuickCreate", RT allows it saying "Global portlet body saved.". Now
let the privileged user bar log in. The RT at a glance of bar has no
longer the "QuickCreate" frame when it previously had it. Hence, I
don't want to grant foo the right of modifying the global RT at a glance!
Is it the expected behaviour? Am I missing anything or doing something
wrong?
Thank you,
Carlos
