Nagios Support Forum

Hello Team,
We are trying to make below nagios api call through through script and somehow it is only working for user api key with admin privileges and not working for non-admin user api key. Please let us know if user needs admin privilege to execute API calls ?

If non admin user can execute api call then what user permissions needs to be given.

We are using below script
starttime=$(date +%s)
endtime=$(date -d '+3 hour' +"%s")
hostgroup=Bradenton-CAA
comments=maintenance-mode-enabled
curl -k -XPOST "https://infra-nagios.com/nagiosxi/api/v ... 5&pretty=1" -d "comment=$comments&start=$starttime&end=$endtime&hostgroups[]=$hostgroup"


Best Regards,

Hello @bsanjay,

You are correct and verified that to schedule downtime the User account is required an Admin role.

Thanks,
Perry
