User Groups within Cacti

Post by pannel »

We need the notion of user groups and were about to implement the feature until we realised it was actually on the roadmap.

Is there currently a alpha/beta patch/release to add group functionality?

If not, any indication of when this may be available? Early 2009 is a little too vague for our managers! :D

Thanks very much guys!

Unfortunately, I'm going to be more vague.

Groups are coming, I just have to implement the discussed design from our meetings at Linux World.

Due to resent activities in the developers personal lives (IE, I got a new job), the projected release of 0.8.8 is going to be more towards mid next year.

If you are curious to know the proposed structure, please email me and we can start a discussion.

I have more 100+ user in cacti, it's so hard to manage all right without group.
I do many error, and I lost time to do same thing every time I create a new user (I have 11 plugins) or change a option.

Do you have news about groups creaton into cacti for users ?

It's under development at this time. Soon to be released. From a Realm perspective, it's working already, but Graph Permissions are still under development:

svn://svn.cacti.net/cacti_plugins/ugroup/trunk

For those wondering, I'm still here, but lost in the shadows. Yearning for less bugs. Who want's a Cacti 1.3/2.0? Streams anyone?
