User rights and templates

[jsimonetti]

Hi all,

Just wanting to get some confirmation on things I'm seeing in zabbix with regard to user rights.


I'd like to have zabbix admins be able to add hosts and link templates to them and have basically all rights. The only thing I'd like to prevent is said user changing templates.

So I thought I'd give the user read-only rights to the templates group.
However this doesn't work. The user needs write access to templates to be able to link them to hosts.

Personally I'd expect that read-only access would be enough to allow linking a template to a host.

Am I doing something obviously wrong, cause I don't see it. Thanks in advance.

i have a solution. Yust give the menu templates only superadmin rights.

open /include/menu.inc.php


find:
array(
'url'=>'templates.php',
'label'=>S_TEMPLATES
),


change to:
array(
'url'=>'templates.php',
'user_type'=>USER_TYPE_SUPER_ADMIN,
'label'=>S_TEMPLATES
),

Cannot link template when Zabbix Admin has read-only access to templates

The mentioned problem occurs from Zabbix frontend version 1.8.5 or upper, which requires to Zabbix Admin Read/Write access to the templates group in order to link templates to a new or existing host.
In Zabbix 1.8.3 it works exactly the way I wanted. The Zabbix Admin needs only ReadOnly access to the templates group and access Read/Write to the hosts groups he wants to.
Please, could someone fix the new versions of Zabbix?
