Right now, all commands that can be submitted are grouped together. I don't think there is currently any way to to allow someone to schedule downtime, but not force a check of all services. This of course could be changed, but I haven't looked at it yet. To implement this, we would need a list of all the possible service / host commands, and what permission a user should have to execute it. I had a quick look and it looks like most should require a 'wx' permission except for maybe 'schedule an imemdiate check of all services'. I don't like the idea of giving 're-schedule the next check of this service' to anyone with read access as they could set it to check a week from now. Like you said, maybe it's better to just keep the 'x' as it is. >> I also changed it so that you will only see a service if you are a >> contact for it.

It looks like if you are a contact for a host, then you automatically have access to view all services. I tested this by making a user (group) a contact for a host and only two of the host's services. The user was able to see all services even though he was not listed on the others.
