I guess you need to look in /usr/local/nagios/etc/cgi.cfg:

  # LOCK AUTHOR NAMES OPTION
  # This option determines whether users can change the author name
  # when submitting comments, scheduling downtime.  If disabled, the
  # author names will be locked into their contact name, as defined in Nagios.
  # Values: 0 = allow editing author names
  #         1 = lock author names (disallow editing)

  lock_author_names=1

And configure Nagios so that people will login using their own username.

hth,

Jim
