While I'm not aware of a way to do what you seek via authentication,
there's a plugin for nagios that only allows certain people to modify
things via the web interface. In this way you could seperate users
-who could view but not change, and admins -who can do whatever they
damn well please.

Might be a different way to accomplish the same task.
