Is there any simple way to allow users edit only certain parts of the node?

The problem is, that my CCK node has a quite large amount of different fields and the node editing form becomes confusing for the targeted end-users. So I would like to split the node editing into different parts and let the users choose, which part of the node the would like to edit.

I would prefer that all validating routines would be in place by their original modules. Is there any module available to provide such functionality?

You can create a module and call hook_form_alter, then set certain form elements #access as desired. See api.drupal.org section on form api reference for help.

Also I just heard there is some kind of cck field permissions module, which might just do exactly what you want!
