Interesting question….an IT agent left our district but has just been rehired in another role...i.e. he was an Agent role, now he is Staff role. He has a few thousand tickets assigned to him as an agent. I don’t want him to have access to tickets anymore (maybe he doesn’t since his role in the system changed?) so I want to reassign all the old tickets to a placeholder agent but when I try to filter by Agent, he isn’t an option because he isn’t currently in the system as an agent. I can create a filter that excludes all of my current agents and unassigned tickets but that still leaves a lot of tickets to wade through since we’ve had a number of other agents leave.

Good morning! Would it be possible to temporarily change the user's role to Agent, update the tickets, and then revert the user's role back? During this period, you could prevent the user from logging in and then restore their original permissions afterward if need be.
