as TYOP3 has similar access-rights than UNIX you should be able to 
configure it.
Just define BE-user/editors which are no admin-user. You may configure 
the default access-rights for pages, or the editors must set them by hand 
for each page.

And any admin-user always can access all content (like a root-user in 
unix). A admin-user must take care when editing any content as it might 
change owner and group and therefore be uneditable by any (BE-)user.
