I want a Qgis personalization where qgis must take care of socioeconomic data for multiple users with different access level for both geographic and socioeconomic data. For example an Analist just view and calculate areas and stadistics, but a Map-Administrator is responsible for updating new elements on maps, or modifying attributes.
For this typical scenario I prefer to apply control anywhere possible, so, just show the user the permitted functionalities, just allow executing related methods and just perform source-data access/modify right operations. But, for example, qgisinterface is too open and will always be a restriction about security while it's strength for extensibility.

So for example, if your data is on shared drives, you'd control access via share permissions. If your data is in a PostGIS database, you'd just use PostgreSQL user access controls. Qgis doesn't enter into it. What sort of thing did you have in mind?
