I sent this message a few weeks ago to the -users list, and haven't seen

This doesn't scale beyond 2-3 people before trying to track all the
references become mindboggling.
How about using a separator character in the name? Nagios itself treats all
contacts as normal. The WebUI drops the separator and everything after it
in the calculation of 'visible'.
For example:
jrhett#mailonly
jrhett#only9-5
jrhett#emergencies
The normal notification routines are unmodified, and treat these as three
separate entities. But the WebUI drops #.... and thus 'jrhett' can see
anything that any of the three are assigned?
This is a VERY common F-A-Q. If I found a way to code this, would it be
accepted as a feature?
