Hi all,
I have questions:
1)I would like to create a user who can see only one or 2 maps.
I would like that the user can’t access to administrator sections.
Is it possible?
2)Is it possible to configure a map as home page of the user?
The quick answer to this is to periodically export a graphic of the map(s) you are interested in and allow access to them through web site.
Ok, but can I do this in Dude?
Unfortunately the feature you want doesn’t exist. Just to clarify read only users is a feature that needs quite a bit more work.
A read only user in the dude has access to all maps, it doesn’t maintain a map relationship (the first map shown is not remembered from previous sessions), they can use the ‘tools’ which do have admin access provided you configured them that way. Read only users have limited SNMP access so custom probes do not work for read only users.
There might be other issues. So there is no good way to implement read only users except to export a graphic to a web server which is very basic. You would need to implement a script to copy the images to your web server and add your own HTML to glue it together. (this has been done if you want you can find posts about it) You could do this another way, you could implement your own web server that queries the dude web server for the allowed maps and maybe support clicking on links to see graphs and such which would be much more versatile. (this has not been done)
HTH,
