[Openvpn-users] different users with different access privileges?

I've a Linux OpenVPN server connected to the Internet via a single IP 
address and to a local network via a second Ethernet port. The machine 
is running several other services in addition to OpenVPN.

The goal is to have 2 groups of users:
- group 1 with more or less full access through the VPN tunnel to the 
internal network and anything else that the server can access
- group 2 with access only to the server's VPN address and, even then, 
only to certain ports on that address

Group 2 must be able to access only a few TCP and UDP ports on the 
server and nothing else. They must not be able to even "see" each other 
through VPN.

I can think of several ways to accomplish that (mostly via iptables), 
but I was wondering if there are already some kind of "best practices" 
in that regard.

I haven't looked closely at OpenVPN since v1.6. Are there any group 
policy capabilities implemented in v2?
