What kind of administration do you want to achieve?

- Managing IPA objects themselves?
- Managing actual machines as in login to them, run sudo, etc?

For the former you'd need to learn how to deal with
permissions/privileges/roles and create separate
permissions/privileges/roles that look like a default one with
additional target filter based on the hostgroup membership.

For the latter you'd use HBAC rules.
