A cursory reverse engineering of OpenOffice [1] reveals that it uses
these libraries for each corresponding component.

(a) Calc = libsc680li.so
(b) Draw and Impress = libsd680li.so
(c) Writer = libsw680li.so

Using group(5) and chmod (1) you can at least restrict execution among
these three sub categories.

Under the soffice.cfg/modules directory there are directories for each
component that can be restricted using group(5) and chmod(1) too.
Restricting a component's directory will make the component useless
even if they run it because the toolbar will be disabled.

A not so trivial task because your requirement is absurd. What is your
reason for restricting users that way? Even in a corporate AUP it does
not make any sense to restrict or allow individual components in a
*SUITE*.

[1] OOo and Staroffice has the same file and library naming.
