In practice, won't the contact group for the service be a good indicator
of who should be authorized to see a service?

If Nagios perms were extended to allow access to members associated with
a contact group, there would be a rationale way to express this. You
woul need to ad login names to the contact or contact group definition.
But for some site, that might even be all you need to do.

(I haven't needed to do this, so I haven't thought alot about it -
forgive me if this could not work for some obvious reason I'm not
seeing)
