Bug? "View host notifications"

Post by idas »

Hello,

when a user is logged in at nagiosxi console, and enter the tab "View host notifications",
he can see notifications that nagiosxi sent from hosts that he doesn't have access to.

Is that a bug? or it can be solved somehow?

Thank you

Can you check to see if said user is listed in the contact group for those Hosts?

Hello,

All users under Admin -> Manage Users -> Edit -> Security Settings have
1)authorized level -->user
2) the only option that is checked is the last one "Has read-only access".

I have 4 contact groups. each one has as contact the admin and a user

Every host has only one contact group.
Despite that, for example user2 can see the notifications of a host that has as contact group the "contact group1"

If the user that has access only to that host, click on "View host notifications",
He can see all notifications that send out to all hosts of that nagiosxi platform.

What version of XI are you using?

I just tried to replicate this and could only see those that the user was a contact for.
