All this can be achieved with the current BE interface. You can set for 
a user group:
- the modules in the left menu which are available
- the part(s) in the pagetree and fileadmin which are accessible
- the tables (record types) which can be read and written
- the fields in those records which are available
- the types of content elements which can be created
- the types of plugins which can be accessed
- etc.

The backend can be provided with a different skin (it's quite a task, 
but it is possible), so you could change the look and feel.

My experience with editors is the opposite: after a short period they 
want more and more options activated.
