 * Hi [@ragnar22](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ragnar22/) you can use Advanced
   Access Manager Plugin which it has a lot of features to deal with user roles,
   capabilities and permissions. Try it and post your results

 * For a limited number of editor/contributor groups, custom post types can be used.
   Each post type can have its own set of capabilities so it’s easy to compartmentalize
   the posts.
 * At some point this scheme begins to fall apart. It’s impractical to have dozens
   of post types for dozens of editor groups. In that case the groups need to be
   managed by meta data where the meta is checked against the current user much 
   like a capability is checked. It’s not too difficult to only permit publishing
   based on meta data, but preventing the viewing of posts outside of the group 
   is quite difficult. WP is setup for most posts to be publicly viewable, so restricting
   viewing to one group works against WP’s fundamental nature.
 * It can probably be done, but it may involve overriding a lot of admin classes
   to pull it off. I’m not sure it can be done 100% securely, but probably secure
   enough to deter all but the most tech savvy users.

 * Yes, it would be for a normal single site WP installation. But it has been done
   before and it’s available for your use. It’s called [Network or Multisite WP](https://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network)
   🙂
 * It’s probably not what you had in mind, but it does fit the criteria you presented.
   You’ll end up with several sub-sites, one for each editor. They can be accessed
   by different sub-domain or sub-directory URLs.

   multisite, and i didn’t try it before, i’m only using single WP installation,
   but I know that multisite WP..
