Could it be something like 'sudo' ? For example, if user is in sudo group, then he could see. Does this make sense?

You mean a user has to login as a system user?

from linux-dash.

Yes, as an offer, optional login, optional user group etc. Does that make sense?
I am not sure, in PHP, how much is it possible

from linux-dash.

I added this to my nginx config

    location /linux-dash {
            auth_basic "Administrator Login";
            auth_basic_user_file /var/www/.htpasswd;
    }

I imagination there is something similar you can do with apachie

Thanks for pointing this out, guys.

Please see discussion here for my reasoning for not adding a security option in the application: #37

Let me know what you guys think.

@afaqurk i dont think you should close the issue before you have taken a final decision on the subject. I am not used to git ways yet tho.

i think @glasspelican solution is pretty simple and clean, maybe it should be used as a README example or something until we have this figured it out, i am sure i will be using it.

@glasspelican thank you very much, that is the shortest way I think 👍

from linux-dash.

After giving this some thought, I have decided to stick by my initial decision for now. Please see my reasoning in #37.

However, thanks partially to this issue's discussion, a security feature will be designed, outlined, and added to the development roadmap.

Also, I will amend the readme to make it very obvious that the user needs to secure this page.

Thanks again, guys.
