XI user settings

[brudnick]

We are having issues with users disabling notifications on services and hosts. I know if you uncheck "Can control all hosts and services:" it will take away this ability, but it also takes away the ability to acknowledge problems, schedule downtime, and force checks on all hosts/services. I need to remove the ability to disable notifications only from users so that they can still acknowledge problems, schedule downtime, and force checks on all hosts/services. Is this possible?

It is not possible at this time even though I can see how this (more granular approach) could be useful. Reviewing the "Audit Log" will help you find out which user enabled/disabled notifications. Here's a sample output:

Code: Select all

Can I put in a feature request to have a more granular control of user rights?

[lmiltchev]

Absolutely. You can post a feature request on our public tracker here:

or I can post an internal feature request for you (if you want me to). Thank you!
