Body: <p>I'd like to be able to assign permissions to content or sections of content within a structure. For example, if I have a structure modeled around an organization and there are several departments within that organization, maybe marketing and sales, I'd like to be able to create groups that can create/edit content within a specific department. Is it possible, using a plugin or by some other means, to restrict access to a specific area within a larger structure?</p>
