Restricting what users can view based on logon

Hello everyone.

Long time user of Nagios, but have always just used it for simple up down/status.

Currently I am deploying core in a small/mid size business. Hand full of switches and routers, stack of VM's.

Based on logon can I restrict what people see on the web interface of Nagios?

I want the router person to see only the routers, and the server admin only able to see the servers..

I remember this working based on assigned groups in the past, or am I just getting old?

Thanks for any help in advance!

You're pretty much spot on, as long as the logon-user maps to a nagios contact then it will restrict what they see unless you specify otherwise in the cgi.cfg. The user will inherit their view of the world from contact-groups or their specific contact profile being linked to a host/service.
