The forums are a good example of making a section of the website user editable. They even contain example roles and permissions. To make a section of your website readable (or editable) only by a specific group of people, the best thing to do is:
1) Go to User Accounts of the admin pages
2) Under sub-items at the bottom, create a new User Group. I called mine "Private Readers"
3) Click on Roles and Policies on the left.
4) Create a new Role
5) Name the role and create new Policies to give the permissions you want. It sounds like you have already figured out the policy editor.
6) Once the role is created you can go to the role's page and click "Assign" to assign the role to specific users or preferrably the User Group you added in 2) 7) You can then edit Users and either move them to the User Group, or you can do what I do and add a location so that they appear in multiple groups. If you wanted a page that only the owner can view, you would grant 'content' 'read' permission to objects owned by 'self'.
