I would recommend the following to control access to your site:
First of all, combine the two users tables (this is database normalization).
Setup a "users_groups" table and define groups such as "Public, Internal, Extranet,
etc.".
Setup a linking table between the users table and the groups table.
Setup a table full of template names (or better yet, fuseactions).
Setup a linking table between template names and groups.
Build an administrator to add people to groups.
Build an administrator to add templates to groups.
Build a security validation script which will look at the person's groups to determine
whether or not the current template is within one of those groups.
