Read-only access to Topology view only

Is it possible to give someone read-only access to just the Topology view of a network?

 

I have a tiered network with core of MS425 switches, distribution layer with MS250 switches, and access layer consisting of MS210 & MS120 switches spread out across a large geographical site.

 

Parts of the site run 24x7, including maintenance teams who work during the night (so some outages are planned/expected). 

 

I have already configured SAML SSO to provide full/read-only admin privileges to our network & support teams, but I don't want to give full read-only admin and all that contains (config details, reports, etc) to these users - I simply want to be able to provide a page that shows what switch(es) are online and offline at any given time. 

 

Is this possible?

Not possible within Meraki, no. You could configure them to receive alerts for things going down, or use a third party monitoring tool to do this such as Zabbix or Grafana.

You would need to use a RBAC third party solution like Boundless Digital.

Thanks both for confirming.  I was hoping to achieve this without a third part solution, but looks like that's not an option.

 

Rather annoyingly we had Solarwinds for monitoring our previous network environment and I could configured that to give exactly what I want, but we are in the process of phasing out Solarwinds since we've migrated to Meraki as I can't justify the additional costs now.

 

I'll also have a look at the options mentioned
