No, currently the context menus are the same for all users. What you _can_
do is restrict access to certain resource types on a user base. This means
the user won't be able to see any context menu at all. E.g. that way JSPs
are "non-editable" for users other then "Admins". Check out the
configuration of the resource type JSP in the workplace.xml on how to do
that.

Another option would be to remove the entries for all users, but create some
special tool (e.g. a JSP) accessable only for Admins that reproduces the
removed functions from the context menu(s).

Best Regards,
Alex.
