Forgot to add that there are also four similar levels for the [Joomla]
Admin *back-end* - but again, there's no real granularity.
In every other respects Joomla is an awesome package. It may still be
worth considering. Here's info about the JACL extension that may give
you what you need:
http://extensions.joomla.org/component/option,com_mtree/task,viewlink/link_id,387/Itemid,35/
"An ACL Enhancements component for Joomla! to enable you to create new
user groups and/or new access levels. It also enables you to assign
multiple access levels to user groups to make your website items' view
access more controllable. Beside these, it also enhance com_content
frontend ACL to allow add/edit/publish action control based on user
groups for specified sections/categories/content items."
