We would like the ability to grant a group permission to also
create maps
who are not "administrators" as admins have control over all maps
(and the
entire server). Create a map but not have server admin rights.
Likewise, we'd like some finer grained access control. Some users
shouldn't be allowed to edit maps, yet they should be allowed to
create charts (and destroy those which they have created).
However, there was a discussion a long time ago about what to do with
polled data once it's been used for it's purpose in Intermapper. I
was a big fan of dumping that data to a configurable database, in
which case, charts could be constructed and destroyed for any data
point on the fly by simply reading that stale data back in -- in
this case, charts would never really be created or deleted, just
shown or hidden.
In the administrative area, it would also be great if Intermapper
could use
a different user database such as Active Directory. Our network
community
is trying to discourage separate user databases with the ever
present idea
of single sign on.
I would like to second this request as well. We find Intermapper user
management to be burdensome and tedious, as well as difficult to
keep in
sync with other access lists throughout our organization.
This is definitely something we'd like to see. In it's current
implementation, it'd be nice if all user accounts were under their
own collapsable node in the users list, which would unclutter things
when looking at other groups of users that are present.
This also brings up a point about licensing. It would be convenient
to load a bulk client license into each server, and assign these
licenses to clients on a first-come-first-served basis. Perhaps the
ability to order the users into a priority list on the server would
also be useful.
However, it'd still be useful to have some clients with a client side
license.
