Not within nagios. I imagine that you could use .htaccess to only allow
access to cmd.cgi for specific users or groups. Something like --

AuthName "Monitor System Access"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users
AuthGroupFile /usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.groups
require valid-user
<FilesMatch "(cmd.cgi|someother.cgi)">
require group admins
</FilesMatch>

htpasswd.groups contains --

admins:bill,bob,fred
