As I understand things, if someone is a contact for a service, they are
supposed to have permission to modify the service (or host).

So, unless you want to give someone "ALL" perms, you have a choice of them
having

a) visibility, notification, AND control of a service
b) nothing

it would be really nice to have some kind of middle ground here.


For example, having a specific user's userid, being able to 
adjust a service on a particular host, but having view-only access
to the host itself.
