I don't understand the first part of your question.  Are you trying to
limit incoming ssh users to certain areas of the system or are you
trying to restrict who is able to use ssh to connect from this machine
to others?

There is an 'ssh' group, but it's for running sshd more securely (in
what's called Privledge Separation mode).  It's not intended for
restricting access to ssh or restricting what (legitimate) users are
able to do when connected via ssh.

As for graphically managing users and groups, you'll want to use the
'Users and Groups' management tool that is accessed via:

System -> Administration -> Users and Groups

Good luck!
