I was looking to do the same thing. I need to separate what different
users see when they log in. They shouldn't even be aware of other groups
and or content that they don't have access to. I haven't tried it yet
but here is what I'm going to try. It's maybe not the same thing you are
trying to accomplish but might help somehow.

Using themes I will create a separate theme for each group of users and
set them as the default theme for the corresponding groups.

In each theme there will be a different set of primary and secondary
links but otherwise they will be the same. For example, Group 1's
primary links might be "Group 1- project A", "group 1 - project b", etc.
and Group 2's primary links would be "group 2- project A" etc. 

Set the default front page to something generic like "welcome to ..."

Using the taxonomy_access module and user roles I'll control what
content the different roles can view, update, etc.
