Just posting that I figured out my issue. I had the broadband contact group
still listed as a contact in the linux-server template from when I orig set
this up. I am using a separate host template entry for the broadband check.
Once I removed the broadband contact from the linux-server host template &
restarted nagios, it worked as its supposed to.

Subject: [Nagios-users] Question on adding additional user to Web cgi
Hello All,
Think I am missing something obvious here. Running core 3.2 and an trying to
add a user to the web console. I only want this user to have rights to the
hosts that he is a contact for.
I have a host group called broadband which has no services associated with it .
I am only using the host ping to the ip of the broadband interface to check if
my remote broadbands are up & running. I have a contact set up for this
hostgroup which gets an email if a broadband interface goes down. I wanted to
give the contact access to the nagios web console for this host group only to
be able to acknowledge alerts.
I added a new user via htpasswd and have use-authentication=1 in the cgi.cfg
file. The user can log into the web console but sees all hosts and can run
commands on other hosts outside of the broadband hostgroup
Looks like everything in the cgi.cfg file is ok, the contact is not listed
anywhere under any of the authorized_for_XXXX access.
What did I miss ?? From what I read,
Authenticated contacts*
are granted the following permissions for each host for which they are
contacts (but not for hosts for which they are not contacts)... If the contact
broadband is not a contact for anything but the hostgroup store_broadband, why
can he get into other hosts and put them in scheduled down time let alone see
them?
Thanks,
Steve
