Hi !
Please take a look at
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/cgiauth.html 	or
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/cgiauth.html#additional_rights

depending on your Nagios version.

The basic idea is that you create authenticated contacts. This means you
create a contact for a host or service in nagios (which i suppose you've
already done)  and then create a .htpasswd entry for the same user ( =
with the exact same username !). Then you granz additional rights for
you authorized contact as describe in the link(s) above.

HTH, Simon
