On larger systems, permissions may need alternative methods #4574

Describe the bug

Today, Cacti supports the 'Permissive' and the 'Restrictive' permission algorithms for determining access to a Graph and other objects. However, on larger systems, it may be more practical to overlay another set of permission algorithms. The algorithms include:

  • Device Based
  • Graph Template Based

These two new permission algorithms will provide more options for administrators of large Cacti installs that will result in improved performance.

The Device Based permission states that the user needs only access to the Device in order to access the Graph or optionally just the Graph itself.

The Graph Template Based permission states that the user needs only access to the Graph Template in order to access the Graph or optionally just the Graph itself.

Expected behavior

More flexible Cacti performance options.
