Management permissions include the ability to add graphs to a host or add a device to Cacti. The permission to add devices to Cacti is hidden under the Update Data Sources permission.

The Collection Methods Permission can be given for the creation of data queries as well as data input methods.

Access to graph, data, and host template creation can be granted to users. In combination with the collection methods permissions, this will allow you to create administrator users who can create the data template together with the required data input method or data query and have other users create the graphs for these.

The import/export permissions allow users to export their templates or import external templates into Cacti. If you do not wish to have users export your templates then you can deny the permission.

Only users who know the Cacti internals should be allowed to change the global Cacti settings. Global settings include authentication settings as well as performance settings for the poller.

The user administration falls into this category. For a base Cacti installation this section does

not contain any further items. You will see more items when you are going to install the Plugin Architecture addon for Cacti.
