This should be 1.

This is fine.

This only says that anyone can shutdown or restart nagios or change it
from active to standby. You want more than that. You'll want to look at
all the authorized_for_* settings in cgi.cfg, but specifically --

authorized_for_all_services
authorized_for_all_hosts
authorized_for_all_service_commands
authorized_for_all_host_commands
