I think limiting access to a newsgroup is done by creating a new news
server.   That way the group isn't carried by any ISP news server.  We would
have to make our own news.nsrca.org news server and require a username and
password.  Sounds like another of these $75/hour jobs, plus the cost of
running a server.
