I had issues with being able to create alerts that would trigger off of a given variable. Adding a Custom Property to all of my nodes,
and doing advanced alerts based off the contents of that Custom Property helped immensely.
Now I have an issue with user administration for access to the web-based NMS, in that I need to be limiting the majority of my user's
view, quite dramatically. Is the proper way to do that by a view by pattern? Can I use a regexp that would match on the first 5 characters
in the node name being numeric (not alphanumeric)?
Can I do a view limitation based off a custom property like I do with alerts?
I'm not quite sure how to get around to the end result, but I pretty much just need to be able to set a view
for the user(s), and not have to change 30 (soon to be more) users every time I add a node.
That's the immediate, short-term need.
On the long term side, I need API documentation, or merely documentation on how the relevant tables need to be populated
for the addition of a new node, the addition of new users, new advanced alerts. I need to be able to add nodes, users, and set
the relevant limitations as part of a flow-through from other systems.

You can use custom properties. You need to go into the Account Limitation Builder to add the relevant custom properties to the web console. Once you do that, it'll show up as an option under account limitations. It's a little clunky, and we are going to make in smoother in a future release.
Where is the account limitation builder?
Belay that last question. A quick search through the web-based help application pointed me to it.
What about the other, considerably longer, more drawn out, and potentially needing to be taken offline questions about
API for flow-through automation/provisioning?
We don't have APIs for adding nodes, although that's something we plan to add in the future.
