Nope, the explanation makes sense. The only thing I was missing was detail about the philosophy behind the privileges system. > Editing views is not per-cluster permission because views can contain graphs > from many clusters.

I don't know how typical my environment is, but I'm taking care of machines belonging to many different experiments. Users like to have their resources on their own web page, and not see nodes they don't care about. Traditionally I've dealt with this in gmetad.conf, moving machines between clusters or making new clusters based on the whims of scientists. It works, but is kind of a pain. Being able to set up admin accounts and let the users arrange things to taste via a web page would make everyone happy.. I don't have to babysit ganglia, and they don't have to wait for me to update ganglia. Fortunately, it's pretty easy to modify the access checks to allow this behavior, so if I'm a minority case, I can patch where needed. I just wasn't sure if I was using the ACL system properly. thanks ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ EditLive Enterprise is the world's most technically advanced content authoring tool.
