Agent vs Group (Permissions)

Post by marconi »

Hi

I've installed OTRS 3.1.7 and I was trying to understand how it works with agents vs permissions (ro, move_into, ..., rw), but I couldn't do it any way.
I've tried creating an agent (Agent A) that just has permission to take care of a queue, eg. Raw, and move the tickets in there to suitable queue.
Then I've created 2 queues, Queue#1 and Queue#2, and its groups are group1 and group2, respectively.

I've given those permissions to the *Agent A*:
users (Junk, Raw): ro, move_into
group1 (Queue#1): move_into
group2 (Queue#2): move_into

Thus when the customer creates a ticket in the Raw queue, the *Agent A* can't move it to other queue because the *move* field doesn't appear to him.
But in the zoomed ticket view appears the *Link* button, I couldn't understand it because I would like the *Agent A* doesn't have permission to modify any thing.

Could someone explain me what's happening ?!

for move you'll need the move permission which can not be choosen in default configuration. So it is included in rw permission.

You can add the permission via sysconfig (System::Permission)

jojo,

Nice, thanks a lot !!!

I've seen others built-in permissions: note, close, pending, customer, freetext, move, compose, responsible, forward, and bounce.
About *compose*, what the difference between it and *create*, so what is that permission for?

create allows an agent to create a new phone or email ticket
compose allows the answering of a ticket via email
