Blocking view access to all hosts and limit to specfic hosts

[fm2ahmed]

Hi,

I have setup a nagios user who as has got access to 22 hosts and that's fine it works and Nagios shows it up as well.

But when I go into hostgroups summary, it shows all hosts (48). Why??? I want it to show me same 22 instead of 48.

What sort of access rights did you give this user? It doesn't seem odd at all that s/he could see how many hosts are in a hostgroup, but depending on the rights may or may not be able to view them specifically.

Hi,

When you say access right, what do u want me to check? and where?? in cgi.cfg??

This actually a bug that has been around quite a while. The user can see all members of a hostgroup from the hostgroup summary page, even if they only have rights to a select few. The user should still be restricted from drilling down into the details of objects they are not authorized for.
