[Koha] branch restrictions to staff

Hi, further to the following message of 2004 (!): http://lists.katipo.co.nz/public/koha/2004/007518.html is it possible with current Koha version to restrict circulation (and perhaps patron management) for a given staff member (or staff members belonging to a given patron category) for items belonging to a given branch, and patrons belonging to a given patron category? Many thanks and best regards, Giuseppe.
