This page outlines how certain users can search for SU users and create non-SU accounts within the Orange Tracker system. This is done through a custom plugin built by the ITS team called SU User Management. This plugin is located on the top of Orange Tracker, next to the Create button:

You can search by SUID, NetID, Last Name, and First Name. You can use any number of fields to help narrow your search and select the Submit button to start the search. The system will return the search results in a table form. Selecting the Create Issue button will allow you to create an issue ticket on behalf of that user. Clicking on the View History button of the user will display all the Reported Issues of that user within Orange Tracker.

All SU users are in Orange Tracker. If a non-SU user sends an email to a project, their account will be automatically created. At times there is a need to manually create a non-SU user account. This is done by using the User Management pull-down near the top of the Orange Tracker screen. Select the Create User link and you'll be directed to a simple page to create a user.
