Okay, so this may be overly optimistic but is there any way to restrict certain groups from viewing certain widgets via CSS. Not like admins and moderators (i can already edit those) but usergroups that I have made...

Hello PA,
As far as I know, you may be able to do this through changing the widget permissions on the widgets page in the Administration Panel. However I am not sure that this applies for all user groups or not but it might. Why not give it a try and see if that works. If not we can try something else.

It doesn't. The widget permissions only has options for admins, moderators, members and guests.
