My fist suggestion to this type question is to use Justin Tadlock’s Members Plugin. It should handle what you are asking, and it’s easy to set up. It has several pre-defined roles and capabilities that will probably cover what you need. If not, check out the forums and doc’s for how to customize it even further.
