Wouldn't some variation on a MERGE table help with this?

The only idea which presents itself (be warned, this is ugly) is to maintain
a set of tables which hold the same data, partitioned out by privilege, and
to grant access on those tables to appropriate users.
These tables could be maintained (or recreated) from the source data at
regular intervals.
