You are right. This is how we implement a "view all, change none"  
role in Opsview: http://opsview.com.

We've provided a patch to Nagios 2.0 so that you can have the role  
"view some, change none" at http://altinity.blogs.com/dotorg/2006/02/ 
a_view_some_cha.html, so you can specify which hosts/services a  
contact can see.
