Nagios Web interface show hosts/services status to specific/contacts user only, not all hosts/services

[mohandas.k at tcs.com]

Hi Marc,

You are right. we can not restrict to look all hosts/services in Nagios 
web interface by modifying cgi.cfg file. can you please share any related 
document or link where I can check for this requirement ?

Nothing in cgi.cfg *restricts* what can be seen. The parameters here 
only grant full access to particular types of objects.

The OP needs to look at the docs for enabling authorization for the 
CGI's. That will allow him/her to restrict based on contact settings.
