So what you are saying is that you need a way for the menu to detect which user/user group is looking at the menu.
As you are already saying you have user groups it should not be to hard to inform the menu about the user group that is trying to open it. Once the menu knows which group is trying to open it it can use internal hard coded or externally read logic to decide what fields to render and how to render them, what events to attach to the elements and so on. I would simply hand the menu a variable/object that identifies the user group accessing it. Then the menu logic can deal with the rest. I would though use an external location to store the logic for the menu so you can easily update it should you need to add a new group in the future. I hope that helps a bit...
