Hostgroup Authorization Change

I'm planning on making a small but significant change in the way 
authorization for hostgroup access is done in the CGIs.  Here's the 
plan...

Current State:

If a user has rights to view at least one host (but not all)
in a particular hostgroup, they are able to see the hostgroup in the 
CGIs.  However, the hosts that the are listed in the hostgroup are 
only the ones they have access to.  I don't think its desirable to 
show a "clipped" version of a hostgroup like this, as its a bit 
deceiving. 


Proposed Change:

In order to view a specific hostgroup (or commit commands for a it)  
user would have to have rights to view *all* hosts in that hostgroup. 


Comments?  If I don't here anything back soon, I'll be making this 
change.  I don't think there should be a big problem with it, but it 
is a very visible change that will be taking place.
