how do I show some users some sets of hosts?

[Pete Siemsen]

I have Nagios running nicely, but I'm a relative newbie.  This is a "how 
do I organize it" question.

How do I configure Nagios so that when a user logs in to Nagios, they 
see only the subset of the hosts, not all of them?

Our security guys want to know the status of about 20 machines.  Some of 
these machines are down for days at a time, for testing.  The security 
guys don't care about the rest of the machines that I monitor with 
Nagios.  They just want to see a screen that shows them an overview of 
the status of their machines.  These guys can be satisfied with a 
hostgroup named "security".  Great.

Our operations staff doesn't want to see the security hostgroup.  Like 
the security guys, the operations staff wants to see a screen that's 
"all green", so the "security" hostgroup just represents non-green 
clutter.  These guys don't want to see the "security" hostgroup at all, 
but they want to see the other 15 hostgroups that I've defined.

How can I satisfy the security guys and the operations guys?
