When you say you 'hard coded' do you mean in the select expert you limited the values of table.user to your 10 Main users?
If so then that is all of the data that is in your report.
If you want to inlcude the other data (region workers) get rid of that select criteria.
If you want to only SEE the main users in the report you can conditionally suppress your report sections based on that criteria.
If you are gouping on the User field then in the sectino expert conditioanlly suppress the GH the Details and the GF sections with
NOT table.user in ["james","kelly","tom","alfred","ashley","thomas","karla","carla","jim","don"]
This will hide the other rows and groups (e.g. ["marvin","xander","sean","mary","eric","tony"] )
Hiding rows does not exclude them from the counts or sums.
So now you can do a Summary of a field to get your total opened ticket count.
