hi

What about existing system extension "sys_action"?

You can define action there as:
"Add news"
"Edit news"
etc.

In sys_action editor have no access to pagetree. You decide where the 
news will be added or what news are edited.

Additionally you can hide sysfolders in pagetree already with following 
User TS:
options.hideRecords.pages = [pids of pages in the tree you want to hide]

With "sys_action" and "options.hideRecords.pages" backend can be really 
simplified.


One thing I dislike however is that if you do 
"options.hideRecords.pages" then the page is not available in "record 
browser". That means that for example editor can not select "news 
relation/connection".
There should be different settings for "page tree" and "record browser" 
in options.hideRecords.pages.
