You can define custom roles for your CMF site, and set up the
permission mappings for folderish subsctions of the site to allow
limited access to their contents.

If you want to protect items by their "types", rather than by their
"place", you will probably need to muck about in their skins to check
their roles programmatically, instead of allowing the Zope security
machinery's "declarative" security to limit access.  As an alternative,
you could derive custom content objects from the "stock" ones, and
re-map the permissions on their methods to a new set, available only
to the roles you have defined.
