+## Changes
+
+- Monitoring: allow access to magpie members of group `monitoring`
+
+  To allow accessing the various monitoring WebUI without having full blown
+  magpie admin priviledge to add and remove users.
+
+  Add existing users to this new `monitoring` group to allow them access to the
+  various monitoring WebUI.  This way, we do not need to share the `admin` user
+  account and do not have to add them to the `administrators` group.
