Thing is, Maik, that there are so many options via Apache modules (LDAP, MySQL, etc.) and you can even connect right into your AD, that it seems there shouldn't be a huge amount of time with something of such an "add-on" feel about it.
What I mean by that is, that Apache alone can make your life very simple with mod_auth_ldap, mod_auth_mysql, etc. A few directives, point at the right database, and voila! There are plenty of GUI clients already out there, and there are plenty of cool ways to handle User access/management, that I'd rather the dev team work on making Xymon do what it does best *even better*, and that's monitoring things.
Maybe that can be in the roadmap at some point, but I'm just not sure I agree very strongly with you that this would be as pressing a need as some other things in the project.
I'm willing to be shouted down on that, by the way. Just my two cents...

As we are talking about new features/function for Xymon,
I would like to bring in one more idea.
Cause we are monitoring several server from my companies costumer,
we have set several user for our costumer, to see their server status.
For this, we just use a simple .htaccess connected with a MySQL db.
It would be very handy, if there would be such a user/permission management in Xymon as default.
Just to setup a new user and select the view/folder/sub-folder, where the user has permissions to.
