Actually, this is a "me, too" question with a twist.

In my case, I am asked to provide service two set of user groups.

Required conditions are 

(1) One user group should be able to access ALL newsgroups.
    (There is no problem to do this, of course. This is the standard
    environemnet).

(2) The other group is allowed to access only one newsgroup hierarchy (and
    its subhirarchy).
    This is the tricky part.

I am using NNTP (+Bnews), and NNTP version of inews, rn, etc..

Is there any good way to do this?
If I don't use NNTP, I suppose I could put group permission on the
news spool directory. But I am not sure if that is feasible using NNTP
access.

Any tips are welcome.
