I already looked in the database to see if all roles and permissions are enabled, and it looks like all is well. Is this a feature that's not yet available and only in demo?

The web config tool is called Nacoma and is a separate project. You can 
check it out from git. Search for it on the list and you'll find a few 
brave souls who have gotten it to work in it's current form. :)

Nacoma keeps the configuration in a database, but when you commit the 
configuration it gets written to the normal Nagios config files. If you 
then edit the config files, you can do an "undo" in Nacoma which imports 
the changes from the config files into the database.
