An introduction to Cacti user management
Cacti integrates a granular user management approach, which lets administrators define access and permissions to trees, hosts, or single graphs. This section will provide you with some detailed information about user management.
Users
Generally speaking, users within Cacti can be divided into three different groups:
Guest/anonymous users
Normal users
Administrators
The difference between these users is the way they authenticate against the system and the access rights that they have. There exist no special groups for these different types of users.
Guest accounts would be used for a public Cacti server, offering the viewing of graphs to any interested person. This can be an internal server or one which monitors your own home network.
Normal user accounts need to authenticate against the server and can then access different parts of the system. Normal users can be restricted to view just a single Cacti tree, therefore making them the first choice for sharing...
