There is no way to bind permissions to portlets. You just bind one role to
a portlet and then anyone with that role can add the portlet. Since the
permissions granted to a user are the logical sum of all permissions allowed
by every role they have, you cannot assign a role to a portlet that will
guarantee that a permission will not be granted.

You are only shown those portlets that for which you have the role. So,
assign A and B one role and C and D another role (with the <security> tag).
Then which portlets a user has access to is determined by the roles given to
them.
