Object Multitenancy Level - Ability to Obfuscate IP Addresses & Enhance Permission Management in SevOne NPM

Description:

This idea aims to boost security and fine-tune access control in SevOne NPM and SevOne Data Insight with two key features:

IP Address Obfuscation:

• Add the ability to mask device IP addresses in the SevOne interface, much like the current "Object Alternate Name" field used for hostnames, but for IPs.
• This would allow real IPs to be replaced with user-defined labels, making it easier to protect sensitive information in scenarios where multiple clients access monitoring data. For example, if N clients are connected to different interfaces on an L3 device, this would prevent them from seeing the actual IP address of the backbone device.
• Users could set alternate labels for each IP, which would then appear in dashboards and reports, keeping the real addresses hidden.

UI Element and Access Restriction in Data Insight:

• Introduce more flexibility to control what users see in the Data Insight interface. Currently, the ACL settings are limited when it comes to customizing what elements (like the navigation bar, specific menus, or report sections) are visible. Ex. "We dont wanna show our Devices IP to our customers"
• The idea is to give admins the ability to hide or show UI components based on user roles, allowing for more precise access control. This would make it easier to follow security guidelines by limiting access to certain features or reports.

Benefits:

• Stronger Security: Masking IPs helps safeguard internal infrastructure and prevents the exposure of sensitive data.
• More Granular Access Control: Allows better alignment with security policies through detailed role-based settings.
• Improved User Management: Makes it easier to customize the user experience by adjusting which elements are accessible based on role, resulting in a cleaner and more focused interface.
