Feature Request: Logout button for Guests (non-admins)

[gwynnebaer]

Once I log in to look at data as a non-admin (for testing purposes), I have to close all my browser windows in order to logout and then come back in as admin. Can we put a button at the top that logs you out (same as for those logins with console access)?

Thanks,

While it would be a good idea to add this functionality, it can still already be done.

Simply click on the "Console" as a normal user, and the only option you will have is "Logout User". You must give users "Console" access though for this. They will not have any other additional rights however.

I still do plan on adding some sort of button though in future releases.

Hi, I'm running 16 web site instances of Cacti. I'm in process of building out each site with all sorts of graphs. I have not put a lot of effort into the user management side of things so far. Have only the guest and admin accounts in place. The situation is that I'm working as admin to build the sites and others are starting to get interested in my results. They go to the site and look around and are getting confused about login/out. I cannot clearly state the situation at this time, but since you seem to have some amount of focus on user management, maybe you might come to realize some things about your code that could be improved or corrected in situations where multiple instances of the software are setup from the same server (via virtual named hosts in apache on a sun box). It seems like it lacks something unique about each instance or something. Is there something about cookies that are the same from site to site... Just sort of thinking out loud at the moment. At this time, I've disabled the Cacti user management to minimize their confusion, but now everyone has full access to the console. Also, I cannot use any of the settings features for users (no kidding - it's disabled ). Point being that the user features have value and I want to get back to them. Maybe I should ask if guest can be a default user access without a passwortd so they can go in and look with minimal fuss...

Oh - This is out of band, but I am sending some arguments to some scripts that must be in double quotes. This works proper, but in the web page, the arguments do not showup when I re-visit the input fields screen for the data source. If I remove the quotes, then it shows up. But I need the quotes as the data is actually several arguments to yet another command deeper down in the data collection process.

Hey - I'm doing some really good stuff and on a substantial scale with this thing.

Hi.
I went ahead and implemented it myself.
