Hi friends,

Is there a way to give permisson to one user enable/disable only a
specific host or a group of? Has someone already did this?

Any Hint?!

Thanks in advance,

I don't think there is a way to do this, as the web-based access into
the hobbit management interface is all or nothing--  once you are
"authenticated", you can enable/disable hosts, add/delete systems from
the critical systems list, etc.

 
Although I think this would be a nice-to-have for the future, my guess
is that its implementation would be somewhat complex.........

That is correct.

It would require a full user authentication/authorization system added
to Hobbit, something which I've so far tried to avoid.
