SAWMILLFORUM

I'm trying out Sawmill with Postfix logs and can't find feature where will be possible to define strict permissions for user viewing stats.

I want to define following:

- Department Manager can see only his employees stats, and himself.
- Employee can se only his own stats.

I think this can be done by creating filter for each user.
But is it possible to attach it permanently and do not allow this user to change it ?

I tried to add some rule in field Report filter in user properties:

(sasl_username matches 'emploee1|employee2|director')

But It seems not working at all.

Please show me which way can I achieve this

You will not be able to do this with Lite, since it has no User Manager, no support for multiple profiles and you are not able to add log filters.

For Pro/Enterprise, you can add a new user account for each user and have a report filter for that user, provided you can craft a report filter that matches your requirement, so this will match all users starting with "sales_": (sasl_username matches 'sales_.*'), or you could build a larger filter like this: ((sasl_username within 'user1') or (sasl_username within 'user2') or (sasl_username within 'manager1')), 'within' is faster than 'matches', so try and use 'within' where you can. You should also take care with this option as you will have only one profile with all the data in and with large logs the reporting may be significantly slower than the approach below.

Or you can create a profile for each group (and have users able to access certain profiles)and use log filters (scales better/more manageable) and the log filter will be something like this: "if (sasl_username eq 'user1') then 'accept' else 'reject';", and you again can build up the filter for multiple users: "if ((sasl_username eq 'user1') or (sasl_username eq 'user1') or (sasl_username eq 'manager1')) then 'accept' else 'reject';"

I hope this helps.
