Each Role is allowed to perform a set of tasks called Capabilities.
E.g. publish_post, moderate_comments, edit_users etc.

What are User Groups?
User Groups are different from Roles.
User Groups are arbitrary names for groupings of users
User Groups are assigned Roles and Roles are assigned Capabilities.

Custom taxonomies have capability arguments as well.
Register your custom taxonomies with capabilities, then assign the capabilities to specific roles as you would with Custom Post Types.

Manually Creating Roles & Capabilities
You can create roles and capabilities manually via the functions.php file.
Adding custom roles
add_role( $role_name, $display_name, $capabilities ); // for example: add_role( 'photo_uploader', 'Photo Uploader', array( 'organize_gallery' ) );
Adding custom capabilities// get the "author" role object
$role = get_role( 'author' ); // add "organize_gallery" to this role object $role->add_cap( 'organize_gallery' );

Or you can create a custom widgetized sidebar for each of your archive-post-typename.php

Conditional Statements
if ( current_user_can( 'edit_directors' ) ) {
// do something}
Use conditional statements with particular user capabilities to create unique instances for each role.

User Access Manager has the ability for you to assign a particular page to redirect a User Group once logged in.
