NudgeNudge gives you an example how to do it. Look in
http://codespeak.net/svn/z3/NudgeNudge/trunk/src/nudgenudge/app.py

To define a permission:

grok.define_permission('nudge.AddReview')


To only allow certain people to use a view:

class CreateReview(grok.AddForm):
    grok.require('nudge.AddReview')
