I've been running CM since the Nexus One. I don't think it supports per-app system privileges. Unless it is hidden somewhere deep within (though I could swear I've recursively been through their entire settings tree).
May I ask which ROMs you are referring to?
I myself use AOKP, although I believe the permission management feature was cherry-picked from Cyanogen, and Google searches seem to verify the functionality exists.
On AOKP, you have to enable it by going into System Settings -> Permissions, which will then let you manage your apps.
Cyanogen uses a similar system[1], you'll need to navigate to CyanogenMod Settings, then Permissions, and finally Enable Management. After that, permissions can be enabled or disabled through the Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications menu.
[1]Those instructions were pulled from a Google search, as I don't run Cyanogen myself currently. They may be old/incorrect/etc. Good luck.
CM 10.2 introduced something called Privacy Guard. https://plus.google.com/+CyanogenMod/posts/gk7X3HjNvnH
Cyanogenmod used to provide this in the Gingerbread days, but they removed it somewhere around ICS/JB.
It was rumored that this was under pressure from Google, etc., but I'm not sure if that was ever confirmed.
