Hi,

you can modify act windows ('ir.actions.act_window') like every other record.
You have to add to your module an XML node similar to:

<record id="ACT_WIN_ID_MODULE_A" model="ir.actions.act_window">
    <field name="groups_id" eval="[(6, 0, [ref('base.group_erp_manager')])]"/>
</record>

This setting says that ACT_WIN_ID_MODULE_A will be seeable by
'base.group_erp_manager' only, that is 'Administration / Access
Rights'. You can even use a group like 'base.group_no_one'
('Useability / No One').
The syntax used by 'eval' is described here

(groups_id) is many2many

Ciao
