pgsql-general is usually a good place if you're not sure where a
question belongs. This doesn't sound much like an interfaces
problem.

By "access" do you mean SELECT only, or also INSERT, UPDATE, and/or
DELETE? One possibility might be to use a view with a WHERE clause
that does the restriction. You'd revoke all privileges from the
underlying tables and grant whatever privileges people need on the
view, possibly adding rules to rewrite INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE
operations.
