He said he didn't want to rely on restricting access at the controller
level (perhaps there are multiple controllers/action, and it would be
difficult to keep track of the access rights at that level).

No, common_filter is defined as part of the model -- as long as it is based
on the user's Auth roles, manipulating HTTP requests can't do anything to
override the filter. For example:
db.define_table('private', ...,
common_filter=lambda q: db.private.id > 0 if auth.
has_membership('admin') else \
db.private.id < 0)
For non-admin users, the db.private table will appear to contain no records
(does not depend on the manipulation of any request parameters). This will
prevent reading, updating, and deleting, though it doesn't do anything to
prevent creation of new records. To prevent creation, you could use a
_before_insert callback.
