I repeat what I put in the other post, have you heard of ACL? With a correct ACL tree, you can limit access depending on the role, just like the thing that you wanna do. Of course, if for example you have differente edits for different roles, then there is no ACL that can help you. But with the scenario that you gave, ACL is enough.
