The below steps are for a default set up but they are rather simple so you should be able to work it out easy enough if you've changed some stuff:

htpasswd2 -c /usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users <new_username>
service apache2 restart

vi /usr/local/nagios/etc/cgi.cfg
change the following lines:
authorized_for_system_information=nagiosadmin,<new_username>
authorized_for_all_hosts=nagiosadmin,<new_username>
save
service nagios restart

That's all there is to it! The first steps are adding a valid apache user and the cgi.cfg steps configure the permissions within Nagios for that user.
