Single User Image access
-
@sonic136 Let us know if this solves your issue. I know its not exactly what you are asking for.
-
@george1421 Its a step in the right direction.
I am looking into using sites and locations now to isolate users and hosts.
-
@sonic136 Sites and locations would be used when you have storage nodes involved. You would create a location then assign a workstation (host) and storage node to that location. That way image deployment uses the closest storage node to the workstation.
Just be aware that by default storage nodes are deploy only. Only master nodes are normally capture/deploy capable.

@george1421 Well this sucks then it wont work.
I really need to restrict access for a single user to have access to 2 images only.
Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated please
-
@sonic136 FOG is open source so you are more than welcome to join in and help implement this sort of things.
We’ll definitely help and guide you the way.

Which part won’t work? The single image in the deploy image list or storage nodes being deploy only?
When you say “a single user to have access to 2 images only”. Is that the same 2 images for every user globally?

@Sebastian-Roth i dont have a developer bone in my body. i wouldnt have a cooking clue where to start…
-
@george1421 the sites and locations wont work.
we also have multiple images for various locations. ie. library, library training room, law, general lab and so on…

@sonic136 I don’t say this very often, but I don’t think FOG is good fit for what you need here. FOG can display either the defined image for the target computer or a list of all images for the target computer. There are no facilities to allow a subset of images based on the target computer. The IPXE menu doesn’t understand the concept of user. At this level it can only understand the concept of computer.

@george1421 Fog is a waaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyy better fit than Zenworks at the moment, it images 4x faster and its more stable. Fog is actually working very well without these refinements that I want to do
