Permissions for discovery only

[Westy_87]

Good day all!

Any idea how I can grant users access to do switch discovery without the ability to send commands or delete any info?

I have 45 sites or so with site techs that use NeDi to locate devices, etc in a production facility, and sometimes need the switch discovery updated quicker (we have it set to run every 4 hours).

I don't want them to be able to do any of the other 'admin' tasks though

You can add a single device with Devices -> Add, which calls a limited System-NeDi (usable by non-admins)...

With my test user, I gave it the same privs as the site-techs: network and support.

When I try and go to Devices, Add with my test user I get the following:

Access Errors: You're not authorized for this!

The user needs to be in the manager group by default. You can change that in nedi.conf like this:

module   System      NeDi         radr   net
