OK, I was being lazy and found out how it works:
If you are authorized for all hosts you can view all hosts and all services. 
If you are authorized for all services you can view all services. 
If you are an authenticated contact you can view all hosts and services for 
which you are a contact.

Global Host Information Access
  Format:  authorized_for_all_hosts=<user1>,<user2>,<user3>,...<usern>
  Example:  authorized_for_all_hosts=nagiosadmin,theboss
   This is a comma-delimited list of names of authenticated users who can view 
status and configuration information for all hosts. Users in this list are 
also automatically authorized to view information for all services. Users in 
this list are not automatically authorized to issue commands for all hosts or 
services. If you want users able to issue commands for all hosts and services 
as well, you must add them to the authorized_for_all_host_commands variable. 
More information on how to setup authentication and configure authorization 
for the CGIs can be found here.

OK, hope this helps someone.
