(I just tested this)
 
If you look at the right side of the screen for creating controlled URLs ( Admin | URLs | Add URL) you will see the * of a wild card.  So, proto should match protoThis and protoThat.  And a blank URL should (and does) match everything. (In fact, it's there in the note at the bottom: "NOTE: if you leave the URL field empty then the access is restricted to all ntop pages, otherwise, this entry matches all the pages begining with the specified string. ")
 
What I don't think you can do is then open up about and it's children to everyone... without a lot of work.
 
You would have to make a source change to create another user, public, meaning no password prompt.
Or create a lot of URL security entries...
 
To open up the "about" tab, you would need to allow
 
About*
ntop*
Credit*
home*
 
You can probably pull a complete list of simple URLs by greping for ".html" in the source, but be aware of internally generated URLs like 192.168.1.1.html and 00_00_00_00_00_00.html.
 
Or, you could use iptables/ipchains to restrict access to the :3000 (or whatever port you are using) to a few machines.

Hi sir,
                I am here for disturbing you again(HA HA HA).
                Through Ntop there are seven main options "About" , "Admin"  ,"Data Rcvd"  ,  "Data Sent" etc.etc.
Now suppose i create a user "A" and i want that this user can only see the Option "About" and its sub options.
So for that what should i do?
