Hi, I'm designing a site where there will be about 3 people responsible for maintaining 3 different areas of the site.
Example Menu:
News
Events
- Company Events
- Local Events
- About Events
Products
- New
- Old
About
- History
- Contact Us
Let's say that Steve manages the Products section. This would mean he can add/edit/remove pages within that section, but not have any access rights elsewhere (ie. Events). He shouldn't even see the menu selection for News, Events, or About pages (just Products).
On top of this, I need each section to have its own sub-theme, which looks a bit different than the main site theme.
How would you go about architecting this?
Would you use organic groups? Are there any modules that provide this out of the box?
Thanks!

There are no modules that produce what you seek out of the box.
My first thinking through this would be to set the sites taxonomy up, and use the taxonomy access.module along with user roles, to give certain roles certain rights with in certain taxonomies. you can then use taxonomy_theme.module and take care of the different themes.
another thinking would be to use the node_access.module to provide access to specific nodes. What you seek will require some leg work on your part with setting up a test site and testing out some combinations of modules.
