I was able to create a new contact group and contact(named the same thing cg-test), add this contact to the group, then only add the contact group, to an existing host. I then logged in as this new contact, that had no rights and was attached directly to no hosts or services, only the contact group. I was successfully able to view the host, but not the services.
I then removed the contact from the group, and removed the contact entirely. Refreshed the page, and validated, that I had the same functionality of neither hosts nor services showing. Which is the same as you.
However I believe the changelog is really referring to the first case where the contact group has a contact, and that is really what you are authenticating as via proxy with the contact group. I will have to speak with the devs if this is actually intended or not.

I have not had a chance to speak with that particular developer. Could you confirm if this is the behavior you are expecting to see or not?

Are you using the correct
authorized_contactgroup_for_* directives in cgi.cfg? Or are you just adding the contactgroups to the standard
authorized_for_* directives?
Code: Select all
authorized_contactgroup_for_all_hosts=
authorized_contactgroup_for_all_services=
authorized_contactgroup_for_system_information=
authorized_contactgroup_for_configuration_information=
authorized_contactgroup_for_all_host_commands=
authorized_contactgroup_for_all_service_commands=
authorized_contactgroup_for_system_commands=
authorized_contactgroup_for_read_only=

i was using standard authorized_for_* directives, I will test authorized_contactgroup_for_* directives in cgi.cfg in my nagios & let you know.

No problem. I don't think these new options are really documented yet. I will open up a bug report for them:
