Can't select my own user as the owner of the Ticket

Oh boy.
An agent needs full access permission on a group - without that, the agent cannot be the owner of a ticket. These permissions are explained here:

It’s just how Zammad’s erpmission system works.

Zammad, as of now, doesn’t support parallel browser tabs for the same user / instance. This has technical reasons. However, you have Zammads on board taskbar for multi tasking:

Generally you may want to consider to ‘cleanly’ divide agent and admin roles. Surely a admin only user sucks during configuration, however, saves you from accidential “oopsies” and is pretty much the norm by now from a security perspective.


Another reminder:
