Nagios Support Forum

I need to work on something here that would be awesome as a customer component. However, I would want to be very tight on who can see or at least click on the component link. My question is, is there a method when I could say "If member of specified contact group" ? That would be sooooooo awesome if there is a method for me to do that

As I wrote that, I thought of a few methods that I could do to do it, but lets see what someone form nagios may suggest

EDIT: Or, what about a function to see if they have the "can (re)configure hosts and services" like the is_admin() and is_advanced() ones.

Definitely a dev question, but the is_authorized_to_configure_service() and is_authorized_to_configure_host() functions are used to determine if the "Re-configure this [host|service]" link is visible. Check in /usr/local/nagiosxi/html/includes/components/xicore/status-object-detail.inc.php.

is_contact_member_of_contactgroup($contact, $contactgroup)

returns true/false

That will work awesomely! Thanks, you can close this, WOOHOO!

Are all of these functions documented anywhere for those of us that like to customize?

Not really. The thing is, when people start customizing it gets really hard for us to provide support because we don't know what has been changed, been added, removed, or just outright broken. It's not that we discourage customization officially, we just don't want to encourage it.
