Make OTRS Read only for Customers

Post by konak0508 »

Hi OTRS team,

We are moving away to a new OTRS machine and I have a requirement for making OTRS Read only for Customers ( 2 CUSTOMER Company accounts) for archiving purposes for at least 6 months. Do we have any way to achieve this?

Thank you

Hello,

Shouldn't be too hard to achieve. Is this your OTRS 2.2.5 system?

2.2.5 really?

Why do companies running software which is not maintained since more then 10 years, has loads of known security issues and even can not e operated on maintained operating systems?

Thats like driving a 80 year old car whith broken head lights and roken brakes which had not een checked for the last 50 years and not using the seatbbelts...

Yes Roy. That's my concern too. They don't want to upgrade it as they are looking into other tools yet they want to keep this as read-only copy for customers and employees for at least several months. Its very challenging thing to migrate it and yet as you said maintaining the security and vulnerabilities is impossible.

Now my challenge is if i can make it Read-only for Customers. I thought of doing individually to give RO permission for all queues but there are so many customers users. But wanted to see if there is a better way to accomplish this.

According to the doc ... you should be able to put an ACL (in Config.pm) such that the modify Actions are PossibleNot or Possible with a flag of 0.
Alternative to that you may choose to disable the modification Actions in SysConfig. either by disabling (Valid=0/unchecking) the module for CustomerTicketMessage/CustomerTicketViewNew or changing the Group that has permissions for those modules.

I don't think this helps. CustomerTicketMessage is needed to view the tickets. I think the template (.dtl) needs to be modified and th reply part removed.

Frontend::Customer::Ticket::ViewNew
Frontend::Customer::Ticket::ViewSearch
Frontend::Customer::Ticket::ViewZoom
