Joomla 3: How to set different user permissions?

I currently have a Joomla site that has 5 different departments of people accessing the backend content. Basically, everyone's looking and poking at other departments contents. So how would I set a different account for everyone and allow them to only modify their own content? E.G.

The salt department can post whatever articles they want, but they cannot modify the sugar department's article.

Does Joomla have this kind of ability or any extensions out there?

If you haven't configured it yet, the key term to look for is ACL (Access Control List).

Basically you need to create 5 users groups (which are not Super Users).

Here is an article to get you started:

That is pretty simple on Joomla 3 system.

  1. Firstly, you create 5 different User Groups in Joomla under Users menu.
  2. Go to Content > Article Manager > click Options button on the top right side > Permissions Tab
  3. In the Permissions Tab, click on each User Group and you have tons of permission to tweak such as: Create, Edit, Edit Own, ...

Hope it helps.
