Description

Currently the only way to allow a user to edit or add smart parameter matches is to make them a full on administrator.

Due to security concerns I have the need to grant users the ability to add and edit smart parameter matches without having all the permissions of a full on administrator.

I think this only applies to matchers of non-fqdn/hostgroup varieties, which should be permitted if the user has the external_variables permission(s). Maybe an "admin" version of external_variables that gives more free reign over the type of matcher would solve this, so we don't lose the lower privilege level.

@Dominic,

Yes, I am looking to be able and edit custom matchers, specially matching on custom params applied to the hosts as well as environment.

So the matchers look like

custom_param_1=foobar,custom_param_2=helloworld,environment=DEV
