Hello,

when adding a graph, one has to select the item out of the combo box "Parameter". This box lists _all_ items defined for all hosts.

So what about adding a second combo-box "Host" that preselects "items" that belong to that host.

As an example:
monitoring 50 hosts with about 10 items each adds up to a 500 items in the combo-box "Parameter". This makes a selection uneasy.

Another suggestion in this line is adding a combo box to select the element instead of a text entry field in the Permissions table in Config->Users->user detail view. It's pretty hard to figure out which Resource ID an element has without looking into the database.

Also, I think granting a user "Read" permission on any screen should give him implicit read permission for the maps/graphs/items that are contained in the screen.

Thanks,
Andreas.
