controlled access to each dept's catalog

I have the following scenario:
Given a company with n departments. Each department would like to create it's own catalog(s) of assets/products/services.
But each department head would like to have the ability to control the view/modify access to their catalog(s) by other department head and/or their subordinates.
Does ofbiz currently have this capability?
If so, how would the configuration be set up?
Thanks in advance.

Once the proposed security changes are implemented this sort of thing  
will be a lot easier. Right now it is certainly possible and may  
require some coding to implement.

There is some out-of-the-box functionality for "role limited" product  
and category administration. Basically you just give the user a role  
limited permission and then associate them with one or more categories  
that each have products and categories associated with them that the  
user will be able to maintain.
