That's true.
But if I want to give access to given hostgroups to a few people, they 
should not see the map for the whole infrastructure monitored by nagios.

Once, it may confuse them, two, there is no reason why they should see 
everything (even without hostnames, it unnecessarily outlines the scale 
of the whole infrastructure).


So, maybe the simplest solution would be to entirely disable status map 
for these users?

Any obvious way to do it (other then removing statusmap.cgi file?)
