Please provide an extensible documentation on how to configure permissions and restrictions for Icinga Web 2 and the monitoring module.

This should be accomplished by creating a file called security.md beneath the following directories:

• doc/
• modules/monitoring/doc/

For Icinga Web 2, the content should cover the basics and the topics related to the framework itself and how to configure each one.
For the monitoring module, the content should cover all specifics to this module.
(See my blogpost for examples)

In detail, the following has changed how restrictions are handled in the monitoring module:

• There is just one restriction filter: monitoring/filter/objects
• The following columns are available for restrictions:
  • host
  • host_alias
  • host_display_name
  • host_name
  • hostgroup
  • hostgroup_alias
  • hostgroup_name
  • service
  • service_description
  • service_display_name
  • service_group
  • service_group_alias
  • service_group_name
  • • all custom variables prefixed with host or service
