Must be Administrator Role — any other options?

First off, thank you for your work on the plugin. Works well as root, etc.

I perform the following and it will not work, unless supplying root password or making nagios user an Administrator:
0 – Run plugin with root credentials and works 100%
1 – Create nagios role
2 – Add CIM access to role
3 – Create nagios user
4 – Assign user to role
5 – Run plugin and receive ” : Authentication Error! – Server:”
6 – Edit role and select the “Check All” box enabling this nagios user full permissions
7 – Run plugin and receive ” : Authentication Error! – Server:”

So at this point a new user with full control cannot access the CIM information at all.

8 – Change Nagios user to “Administrator” role
9 – Completes check 100%

This will allow me to not supply root password for this system as it is a central root password. But the full on access is still scary. Am I doing something wrong? I must be because other people are doing fine. Please correct me 🙂
