Permissions in icingadb module: How to filter or hide users / usergroups

Icinga Web

Hi all :slight_smile: ,

I’m trying to create a new Icingaweb2 role with this restriction in the icingadb module:
“This role is not allowed to see the lists of Users and Usergroups in the Overview”.
(For privacy reasons.)

I tried a similar thing for hosts and services, which works quite well with a filter expression like this:
icingadb/​filter/​objects : hostgroup.name!=* or servicegroup.name!=*
( or both with hostgroup.name!=*&servicegroup.name!=* )

However, a pattern akin to usergroup.name!=* doesn’t work as expected.
(The users and usergroups still show up.)

Am I using the wrong filter pattern?
Or is there maybe a more elegant solution for my usecase that I’m not aware of?

Your help’s greatly appreciated. :v:

You should take a look at denylists. icingadb/denylist/routes in particular.

Thanks Johannes! A classic case of RTFM on my part. :wink:

For anybody with a similar issue, here’s what I ended up with:
Set this restriction in the icingadb module:

icingadb/denylist/routes : users, usergroups

Those navigation items will now be hidden and inaccessible for this role.
contacts, contactgroups (as stated in the docs) won’t work.

Cheers.
