Default Worksheet protection question

Hi all.
I have a spreadsheet with 20 worksheets. I want each worksheet to be
protected by
1: an administrator password,
2: a user password.

the user password for worksheet 2 MUST NOT be able to edit any of the other
worksheets and vice versa.

Is this possible?

Thanks in advance for your help.....

waiting patiently....

Dominic

Know that all internal protection is incredibly easy to bypass:
