I think Taba is correct. Most home networking is peer to peer, so all clients on the network are equal, or peers. A server/client relationship is more like what you are looking for and, as Taba mentioned, now you are into server software...a bit much for just about any home user.
One option available would be to acquire password protection software and assign passwords to different folders, thus controlling access by password distribution.

This cant be done using workgroup networking. Once a folder is shared all computers in the workgroup will have access.
You would have to install network server software and create a domain network to do this.
