User Security Settings

Administrators may grant users additional rights beyond the default permissions they have in GV GUARDIAN. A description of each individual security setting option is given in the table below.

Table 1.
Setting	Description
Can see all hosts and services	The user can see all hosts and services that are being monitored – not just the ones for which they are notification contacts.
Can (re)configure hosts and services	The user can re-configure and delete existing hosts and services (which they can see) from the monitoring configuration, and add new hosts and services to the monitoring configuration.
Can control all hosts and services	The user can see and submit commands (e.g. disable notifications) for hosts and services.
Can see/control monitoring engine	The user can see and control (e.g. shutdown or restart) the monitoring engine. Not recommended unless the user is advanced.
Can access advanced features	The user can see the Advanced tab when viewing the details of hosts and services, and can see some menu items and options that are not usually suitable for basic users.
Has read-only access	This option removes the user's ability to submit commands (e.g. disable notifications) for hosts and services and prevents them from re-configuring existing or adding new hosts and services.
