One thing that would help us would be the ability to create reports based on
User Group (primarily, "Reviewer" vs "Authenticated"). If we can generate
reports of tickets assigned to Authenticated users (i.e. the Reviewer
Trainees who are not yet added to the "Reviewer" group), then we can
probably make-do with what we're doing now...
