I have read the documentation about who has permissions on executing commands to the service. I have a application administrator that does not have UNIX administrative authority but still needs to see some of the others services and be notified if the hosts goes down. I added the user to receive host notifications and to be able to perform service actions on their own services. By giving them host, I give them all rights to all services on the hosts. Is there away to allow them only view to the services that I didn't specifically add to be contact for that host? I would also like to be able to send notifications of host up/down/resolve. To resolve the host notifications portion, I believe I can accomplish this by adding an entry to host escalations. I'm not sure on the service view portion. Suggestions?
