Is that to say that "view _all_, change some" wouldn't work for you? 
That's how we're working at present, out-of-the-box. While restricting 
viewing might reduce mental clutter for those concerned*, I can't see 
why being able to see everything is a big deal (unless you're displaying 
some super sensitive information in Nagios which is a totally different 
topic).

See 
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/configcgi.html#authorized_for_all_hosts 
and 
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/configcgi.html#authorized_for_all_services.

*Our service centre can see everything, but we used service groups to 
provide "rolled up" views to keep it simple for them. All our engineers 
can see everything so when they spot an issue with someone elses kits 
that impacts their own, they can find out what the issue is and who to 
poke in the eye with a burnt stick to get it fixed. We found that trying 
to hide stuff just blinkered people and made them only responsive to 
their own issues ("not my server. not my problem.") which results in 
poor customer service at the end of the day.
