Nagios Support Forum

Hi,

we need readonly users for the webinterface. readonly means the user
(contact) should only see his hosts and services, but should not be able
to execute any commands except creating comments.

It did a very dirty quick patch to the current 1-x-cvs version. If the
contact name ends with "_ro" (for readonly) the contact is not able to
execute any commands except creating new comments.

It think a good solution would be a configuration option in the cgi.cfg
like

Format: readonly_user=,,,...
Example: readonly_user=bob,alice


Bye

Dietmar
