This is configured in /etc/news/readers.conf

man readers.conf

The documentation is really confusing. But don't despair.
Basically you have three scenarios:

1. Authentication and access rights based on IP address

2. Authentication through an external program. "ckpasswd" is shipped
   with INN and works on Apache-style password files. All users have
   identical access rights in this scenario.

3. Authentication and access rights configured through a custom
   perl-script (this is what I use).
