Group module should do it -- you can use get_user_group() for the caller 
and then check if callee is in the same group via is_user_in().

But it is not the only alternative in Kamailio -- I would add a new 
column to subscriber table and load that via load_credentials from 
auth_db module (which is done at authentication time), then check for 
callee via sqlops.

If i need caching, either htable or mtree are good options, a matter of 
user id (if it is digit only or any alphanumeric set of chars).

Cheers,
Daniel
