Hiding the filter button! First time I even thought of this feature......one that really makes sense. I do not know of a way without modifying the zoneminder code directly but I never really looked! I will test around and see what it will take to hide the Filters button and access to the filters based on permissions. Really should be noted in the Features Suggestion thread.

The filter feature in ZoneMinder is tied to the View Events permission.

Yes ,right .But I want user can view Events too ,not only Stream (live view) . But if is impossible and that will work .
Or if is possible if Stream is - View ,Filters to be disabled ?
Thank you.

add a new option for Filters->View/none ?

May be is simple to make button - Filters disabled when option Stream is - View .

I have a modification that seems to work on my test system. When a user has Stream ="View" and Events="View" selected and everything else set to "none" there is no access to the filters. change Events="Edit" too allow access.
on my Ubuntu based system --->
open /usr/share/zoneminder/www/skins/classic/views/filter.php

around line 22 find :

Code: Select all

if ( !canView( 'Events' ))

and replace with :

Code: Select all

if ( canView( 'Stream') and canView( 'Events' ) and !canEdit( 'Events'))

It needs some testing.
