I need to do something similar, and .htaccess files came to mind.
However, I want to basically provide all hobbit functionality to
groups, without exposing any other groups hostsnames. I have noticed
that some things in Hobbit already work nicely for this, such as
enable/disable and acknoledge alert, when selected from a sub page will
only show the hosts/alerts from that page, but what about things like
bb2.html (all non-green view), and other administrative things
(eventlog, availbility, etc) that we may want a group to be able to
use, but not have them wade through other groups hosts as well?<br>

<pre wrap="">Hi, we have been setting up hobbit for our company over the last couple

been asked to limit access to each department head and the department
heads can only see the results for equipment in their department. We
have divided the bb-hosts file up using the PAGE function, but wanted to
know if there is a way to explicitly allow one or two people to see the
page for a specific department.
We also want to publish the site and use authentication to get to it,
what is the best way to meet both these goals?

Hobbit doesn't have any access controls built-in, so you need to
configure this through your webservers' access control mechanism.
These usually make it relatively straight-forward to secure access
to certain directories to a limited group of users. In Apache,
you'd put something like this in your config:
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Hobbit"
AuthUserfile "/etc/hobbit/users"
AuthGroupfile "/etc/hobbit/groups"
Alias /hobbit/ "/var/lib/hobbit/www/"
<Directory "/var/lib/hobbit/www">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes MultiViews
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
Require group admins
</Directory>
<Directory "/var/lib/hobbit/www/dept1/">
Require group admins dept1users
</Directory>
Note that you can also use .htaccess files to control this.
Then use the htpasswd utility to create users, and add users
to the "/etc/hobbit/group" file like
dept1users: john mick
admins: aaron
