Need Help: In B2B - I need to allow certain customers only to access a category

Working in NopCommerce 1.80
I need to find a way to allow certain customers, to be able to log in, and go to a certain category, or manufacturer - and those customers only. We want to setup an online catalog for our current clients for products we create for them repetitively --- without the rest of the customer base (or world) to be able to access those pages...

Any Ideas?
(I've seen several different references to something similar, but nothing clear enough for me to implement "simply", without a lot of code change)

Appreciate Your Thoughts and Feedback !

it's planned for v1.9 ( though i don't know if planned  is the same as guaranteed)
