What is the Resource ID Used for?

[James Wells]

Greetings,

When configuring user permissions, you can limit a user's scorp by using resource ID's, what I would like to know is what this value really means and how you break down these resourceID's.

The reason I am looking at this is to use it as a mechanism for limiting user scope to specifric groups of servers. I have about 40 defined host groups and would like to give people permissions to access only those host groups that they need access to, and I suspect that this is what it is used for, but cannot figure out how it works.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

any reply to this?

I have a similar requirement. I have been able to limit a user's scope to change their own passwords and media and such by specifing their user's id, but have had no luck with host groups and the like.

heh. and if I give them the ability to change their own passwords and such they can just grant themselves default read/write privledges
