do you really have to extend user-records?
I think it  needs some good user-group-definitions (BE and/or FE) and an 
assignment.

As usual: 
1. define your roles 
2. build up user-groups (hierarchical)
3. assign groups to users

depending wether an user has to edit content import your userdata into 
be_users or fe_users and assign the matching be-/fe-usergroup.
