Add this line:

Clear your mason cache:

rm -rf /opt/rt4/var/mason_data/obj

Restart your webserver.

Configuration

By default, all privilegued users are shown. There is a known problem with users which don't own any tickets being hidden.

If you want to show specific groups, you can configure an array of group names:

Set($UserSearch_Groups,
[ 'netways' ]
);

This also works for sub group members included in the configured group.

Group by User-CustomField

If you want to group results by a CustomField which applies to users, you can use:

Set($UserSearch_GroupByCustomField, 'Department');

If this is a SelectionType CustomField a summary row is appended after the group. To apply a different style to the summary row you can style a class (usersearch-summary-row) in your RT Theme:

You can control the order of groups by defining a SortOrder for the CustomFieldValues:

Screenshot

The group-summary-row has its own class for styling. You can override the class tr.usersearch-sum-row in your RT theme:

table.queue-summary tr.usersearch-sum-row td {
  background-color: rgba(255,170,68,0.1);
  color: black;
  padding-top: 0.5em;
}

Permissions

Navigate into Admin - Global - Group Rights and select the group to modify. Select the Rights for staff tab and tick Show the usersearch box.
