Limit customer access to certain products - Should see products with price, but cannot buy them

We are running on version 4.2, but will soon upgrade to 4.5.
Today we are limiting access to products with the "Access control list". We have defined new permissions, and we add "Customer roles" to products and users in order to give certain users access to certain products.
The problem is that the products are not visible to anyone (and Google), unless you have the necessary "Customer role".
How can we change this, so that the products are visible, but they can not be bought unless you (as a customer) have some kind of permission?

You may use this permission Public store. Enable shopping cart

Finally, I'm implementing this. But I see a problem now.
I want the inverse, namely "Disable shopping cart" for certain products unless customer has a certain CustomerRole (The products in question must probably have the same role).
How can I do that?

Well, for that you might need some custom development.
Using default feature, You can control product visibility by customer role but not the product buy functionality.
