Disclaimer: I work at Cloudera on Solr and related technologies. I don't think there's anything out of the box in Solr 5.0 that changes that. SOLR-4470[0] should be able to do that, but it hasn't been committed. Apache Sentry[1] adds role based access control to Solr, but it's only been tested up to Solr 4.10 and with kerberos (not basic password protection). It comes nicely integrated out-of-the-box with Solr as part of Cloudera Search[2]; otherwise, you'll have to do some manual setup to get it to work.
