I have a feeling that the answer to this question is buried in the 
documentation, but since I've failed to locate it here goes nothing.

RT4 is working great on my system, and I'm trying to hook it into our existing 
Kerberos infrastructure.  Apache is happily handling the "Basic Auth over 
HTTPS" side of things, and I've set...

  Set( $WebExternalAuth, 1 );
  Set( $WebExternalAuto, 1 );
  Set( $WebFallbackToInternalAuth, 1) ;

... in RT_SiteConfig.pm

My users can log in, and according to my poking around in the database they are 
being added to the "users" table.  What I need to figure out now is:

a) how to "promote" my own account to be the equivalent of root
b) how to manipulate other accounts

When I disable WebExternalAuth and log in as root, none of the 
automatically-created accounts are visible.  This makes it hard to change their 
settings!  Interestingly even they can't change their settings.

My use case is that I teach a number of university courses, and I'd like to 
have queues that correspond to different courses, assignments, etc.  Students 
would be able to submit tickets (e.g. regrade requests, etc.) and my TAs would 
be assigned to work on the tickets.  I want to do the absolute minimum 
administration, which is why the WebExternal* features look so promising.

I've assumed that my student would be non-staff users, and my TAs staff users, 
but I clearly haven't figured out how to make that happen (or if that's the 
right approach).  Any suggestions would be most welcome!
