This is a very tall order for sure, but very do-able using User Level Security.
If you have never used ULS you must, not an option, read a lot of material
on the subject. It can be a difficult concept to grasp the first couple of
times. Practice on dummy databases until you really have a feel for it.
Having someone send you a working example will do you a disservice
on this subject. You must understand what is going on behind the scenes
with ULS, otherwise you will most likely screw things up. Not to mention
you will not have an answer when the instructor asks,
"Explain to me how you set this part up..."
Read all of the ULS information I have accumulated here on my site
(yes, read it ALL):

Hi All,
I have never tried to restrict what a person has access (Not Intended As A Joke) to. But my current
class assignment requires that I present specialized switchboards to users based upon their
credentials. The switchboards are not the problem - creating users, groups, etc. is. And then to
deploy this system after they first log in, I expect, is another matter altogether.
For example, the den leader would need the ability to monitor everything in the database, including
setting up the troop in the first place. He also creates users and groups, and is in charge of
passwords. Then he creates users who perform various tasks within the troop.
For example, one of the cub scouts takes role at each meeting, and should only gain access to forms
and reports pertaining to attendance.
Another boy takes care of recording whether they earned a particular badge, and then making sure
someone orders it, and eventually pins it on who earned it.
This feels typical to the things most of you professionals do every day. And though mine is a labor
of love, it still covers the same ground you have already covered. As a consequence, I would be
overwhelmingly grateful if someone has already developed something along these lines would zip up
the whole thing and send it to me.
Thanks a 1,000,000
Chuck
