How to Hide Devices in the Monitor Tab for a user.

[ftorres]

I have around 550 devices and I need to hide some devices in the Monitor Tab for some users.
This user is a client and like to see when the devices are up or down and he also want to have access to the graph in his devices.
I know I can show him the graphs in some devices and hide the rest but I don't want that he look the other devices of my other clients.

Is this possible?

thanks in advance.!

If you already restrict users so they can view graphs permitted,
simply select "Default with permissions" for grouping.


For example...
When admin logged in, total graph tree looks like this:


I want to permit user to view under "Test Tree" but not to see Switch-2.
I set graph permissions for user as follows:


When user logged in, the result is:


And when user clicked 'monitor' tab:


NOTICE:
I tested the above at Cacti 0.8.7g + PA 2.9 + monitor 1.2-1.
If it doesn't work properly (e.g. All hosts are displayed in monitor tab),
modify "plugins/monitor/monitor.php" as follows:

if (read_config_option("global_auth") == "on") {

(at line 817, 880, 935) to

if (read_config_option("global_auth") == "on" || read_config_option("auth_method") != 0) {

It seems that "global_auth" is not exist in latest Cacti.
