Hi Harry.
You ask two questions, for which I offer two answers:
1) The proper way to make some content visible to members only is to
setup a workflow for that content type. In the published state (or
whatever you choose to call it), select permission settings that only
make it visible to members. For the proper permission settings, you
will need to look at the "Actions" tab of each content type inside the
portal_types tool.
2) Other groupings in this case would be Roles. I wouldn't use local
roles for this. Rather (IMHO) in the acl_users folder at the portal
root, setup the roles you desire (family, etc.) and assign these roles
to the appropriate users. Then, you'll need to setup the permissions on
the workflows accordingly.
FWIW, when I mention setting up workflows, most people use the
DCWorkflow product:
http://cmf.zope.org/Members/hathawsh/DCWorkflow/
If you need instructions on setting up new content types (that might be
visible to members only), see my email (in the archives
http://mail.zope.org/pipermail/zope-cmf/) today with a subject
'Overriding standard_html_header'.
