Shalom,

User restrictions have a lot to do with the user environment the user has. PATH, other environment variables control what they can execute and what they can do.

That is specific an answer as I can give to what I see as a vague question.

So, why not put some users into /etc/passwd
on some systems, but not on others?

It would probably make sense to maintain a
single list containing all the users (and UID
values), so that everyone has a unique UID,
and it's the same for a particular user on
all the systems. (All users could exist on
all systems, but some users could be disabled
on some systems.)
