Actually, it's pretty simple.
You can turn every be-group into a role. And then switch between your 
roles. When you have activated role B, then role A, C and D are 
"detached". It's like A,C and D are not assigned to the user.

Because a role is essential a be-group, you can define webmounts, 
filemounts, which modules and fields should be accessible and more.

This means that if you separate all the things which are specific for a 
section of your site, then your backend will become more simple.

Why? Because when you have activated the news role, then you will only 
see what is relevant when being a news editor.
* You will _not_ see the link catalogue or forum modules. And maybe you 
will even not see the page module (you decide if it's necessary for 
being a news editor).
* Also you will only see the part of the page tree which is relevant. In 
this case maybe only the news sysfolder and the news list page are 
important.
* Just as important, you will only see the content elements and records 
which are relevant. This means, if you have a sysfolder which is shared 
between calendar, news and other stuff, then you will only see the news 
records. This also means that if click at the create a new record 
button, you will not get the complete list of irrelevant records to 
create, but only the news and news catagory records.

Soon I will try to record a video to show off the extension :-)
