CCM Read only user

Post by mvikhman »

Is there a way to set a user such that the user can see all CCM setting, host, hostgroup, templates etc. But not actually modify anything. We want user to login to CCM and see the how the check structure tree is configured, but can't change anything. In other words, I want a user to have READ ONLY access to CCM.

Thank you
Mike

Hi,

Unfortunately there is no way to do this currently. There are plans to re-vamp
the way permissions work in the future which would accommodate things like this
but the timeline is fairly distant.

A workaround would be to give that person full access on your test server, take backups
from Prod and restore them on your test server.

Remember you are allowed three installs per license:
Nagios XI License Policy
With every purchase we offer 3 separate activation of XI licenses. One for production, one for testing, and one for high availability. We always recommend upgrading on a test server first before making changes to the production server.
