Unless I'm still not understanding, that's exactly what authentication
provides. We use it extensively, providing restricted views for 1175
contacts. Nagios looks at the REMOTE_USER variable set by htaccess to
determine who is logged in. Hosts and services are only shown that they
are contacts for. For hostgroup views, I believe that you must have
permission to see all hosts within a hostgroup to view the hostgroup.

Try it and see. I feel confident it's what you're looking for.

As far as not sending notifications, disable them with the following in
your template or contact definition --

    service_notification_period    none
    host_notification_period       none
