user groups for cgi's

Sorry, I should have been a little more specific...  I am talking about
limiting to more than just the cgi.  I am talking about limiting access to
hosts within the cgi.

Example:
if using status.cgi?hostgroup=all you would only get a listing of the actual
hosts that you have access to.

This way you could have two groups (groupA and groupB).  GroupA would only
have access to view, post comments, schedule downtimes, etc to groupA's host
groups and service groups.  And groupB would have the same (and no access to
groupA's host groups/service groups).

After looking at the code, I don't think it would be difficult to implement.
 It could, however, slow down the cgi's (because it has to check for access
before displaying).
