Dear Srinivas,
        Simple of achiving this kind of scnario is create separate themes for different users and assign the themes to the users in master rule collection through Desktop Page.Here in this case you will be creating one framework page and multiple Desktops and themes.All the desktops will be having the same framework page and different themes based on the user type or group type.
        Otherway of achiving this is create an pdk application where it will have multiple jsp components in it and based on the each component create one PAR iview.Let us take if four groups of users then you will be creating four different jsps in pdk application which will inturn contains different masterhead images and related logos.After creating the iview place the iview in the correcsponding framework page below the masterhead iview.Here multiple framework pages and Desktops and you can go with single theme.
         In the first scenario the masteread , we are managing through the theme and in second the masterhead we are managing throgh application.
         Either of the scenarios can be used to create differet masterheads for different users.
Hope the answer helps you....
