Assuming you don't globally add all rights to all users (and it sounds
like you have), this is not the case.  Generally, users are allowed to
view and interact with services for which they are contacts (see the
sections of the docs about CGI auth for details).

There is, however, no "read-only" access in an out-of-the-box Nagios
installation. Either a certain user has full access to a given host or
service, or none.
