Pepe,

Nagios design does not allow for this. Plugins are executed without any user being \
logged in the web interface so a plugin has no idea which user is going to look at \
the results later on.

What you can do instead is define multiple service checks, with "secretary" only \
having access to some of them. while the other "more advanced" ones are viewable to \
nagios admins.

Maybe what you are really looking for is \
http://exchange.nagios.org/directory/Addons/Components/Nagios-Business-Process-Intelligence-(BPI)/details


Which allows you to take a lot of service checks and group them together in higher \
                level view. i.e.
* "Webservices are up"
* "Databases are down"


Kind Regards,
Pall Sigurdsson

Hello, 

no, I really want to have different output from one plugin depending on user logged \
in. So I need to show some advanced output to some most advanced admins. (secretary \
and naiosadmin was just an example) 

Pep.

You probably just want a different web front-end altogether for 
"secretary"... search around for different Nagios Front-Ends.
