XWiki allows you to control all access permissions for users and groups
at a fine grained level:

When creating a panel you should set the rights at page level: if he

This is a bit tricky because in XWiki a user does not have his own
space. As a consequence, by default you share your settings (including
the display of the panels) with the other users which have the same
rights as you. To personalize the content of a panel you could:
1. Create a panel which can be viewed/edited only by you.
2. Add a check in the panel you want to customize to display some
content when you are the logged in user.

This sounds like a XWiki Application. This tutorial will help you get
started:

You can indeed change the look and feel for any panel in XWiki.
Although, if you want to add for example, a horizontal menu in the
header or footer, you should override instead one of the velocity
templates from the skin. You can find out more about the skin
customization at:
