Managing users and their permissions is an important task for Nagios administrators, especially in multi-tenancy setups. This document describes Nagios XI user rights or permissions and how to effectively manage permissions to ensure security and obtain a web interface tailored to various individuals needs.
In earlier version of XI, permissions were managed on a per-user basis. In XI 2026R2 Roles were introduced to provide role-based access control, while still allowing for granular control.

Understanding XI User Rights and Roles - 2026R2
Earlier Versions
Advanced Nagios administrators who have experience with managing existing Nagios Core installations or wish to migrate from Nagios Core to Nagios XI may wish to better understand how contacts and users differ, as well as the details of how they are joined through configuration settings. This document describes the relationships between users and contacts in Nagios XI.
This document describes how to configure Nagios XI to support multi-tenancy to allow multiple users or clients to share access to a single Nagios XI instance while ensuring those specific users have access only to host and service objects they are authorized to view and maintain.
This document describes how to use the Automatic Login feature in Nagios XI 2026R1.2+. This enables you to configure Nagios XI to automatically log visitors in as a specific user when your Nagios XI interface URL is visited, or to add an Automatic Login button to the Login page which can be clicked to log in as a specific user without the need to authenticate.
