Yes, this can be achieved using the web authentication that you setup to
login to nagios.  You would make your .htaccess or auth schema user the
same as the user you put them into contacts.cfg as.  Then you would have
to create a group just for them in contactgroup.cfg.

After that you would then add their contactgroup to the host/services
for which they have with you.  The ISP cloud will basically show as the
central nagios host that's doing the checks, unless you add a host and
just name it that for viewing purposes on the map.

Then, after you have added them to the auth files, contacts.cfg,
contactgroups.cfg and put their group name into the hosts/services they
are to see you would also need to make sure that in the hosts/services
definitions that you are using the 'parent <nameofparent>' option so
that things will fall correctly on the map.

Hope that helps somewhat, didn't describe as best as I probably could.
