The backend layout should reflect the structure of the frontend to make 
it easier for editors to identify the areas where certain content needs 
to be placed.

In TYPO3 4.x you could use mod.SHARED.colPos_list to define which 
"columns" were available in the page module.
In the latest TYPO3 6.2 release this option is working again and can be 
used to set which areas (indicated by their colPos numbers) in the 
backend layout are accessible.

Using backend layouts together with this option you can assign a BE 
layout to a page to set the structure of the editing areas in the 
backend and use the TSconfig option in backend user groups to determine 
which of the editing areas are accessible to them.
If you have complex requirements it could take a bit of planning to 
match the accessible areas with the various backend layouts. Note that 
if you set colPos 1,2,4 and 5 as available for a user group then these 
areas are available in *all* backend layouts.
