graph_view.php user permissions not working

Post by karlh »

Hello
I have posted this before, but i will ask again
I am using Cacti-0.6.8
In the graph_view.php area i have lots of graphs.
When i create a user, and login as the user i created he can view all graphs. So the graph permissions are not working. The user can view the Whole graph hireacy. and All the graphs i have. I have tryed setting the graph permission to both allow and deny, but still, the permissions are not working.

Any ideas ?
Best regards

Even after you set the default graph permission to ALLOW or DENY, are you selecting any individual graphs?

For instance, if you set the policy to DENY and select two graphs, that user will only be able to see those two graphs. Cacti is built in such a way that the graph will not render if the user is denied from seeing it. Cacti for some reason must think that the user has rights to view the graph.

One thing to keep in mind is that giving permissions to hierarchies only hides them from the user, it does not explicitly deny the graphs in the hierarchy. To prevent a user from viewing a graph, you must set the permissions for that user on that individual graph.

Hope this helps.
