With CGI authorization enabled users can only see hosts and services
that they are authorized contacts for.

http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/cgiauth.html

I can't seem to find where this little nugget is actually stated in the
documentation or the FAQ any longer. The quick synopsis is --

Enable CGI authorization as above. Create a contact for this person. If
they don't need notifications, set the service_notification_options and
host_notification_options to 'n'. Add them to the contact_group for the
host (and possibly as a contact for each service). Create an .htpasswd
user account using the same username as defined in the contact
definition.

That should be it. When they log in to the web interface using their
username and password they should only see those hosts and services that
they are listed as a contact for.
