How to set viewing privileges to different users in joomla

I have 4 pages

  1. home
  2. management
  3. services
  4. contact us

I have 3 type of users

  1. public user
  2. broker
  3. supplier

I want when a "Broker" logs in to the website. he/she can only view home page and services. Not other pages. likewise when a supplier logs in to the web page he should see only management and contact us and home page.

I know in Joomla has 8 user types (Author,Editor.. etc) but I want to customize my own user types accordingly. These users only need Viewing to certain areas.

It sounds like you are using J1.5 and the ACL is not that sophisticated. You have basically 2 choices - you can buy a 3rd party ACL that gives you better control or you can upgrade to J1.7. With end of life coming for 1.5 in April 2012, it would be a waste to go down that path. I would upgrade to 1.7, then install ACL Manager and set it up how ever you like.
