With the ability to customise the admin interface for users it would be natural to have example profiles for different types of users. The control of what is displayed may be through the admin or an ini file.
One problem here is the separation of the presentation from the role. If a link is given the role usually has to be updated to allow that link to work for the user.
The role function could itself allow a user/group to be set up with specific roles in categories and the admin would then display these categories as menus with links. A simple extension could use the url translation mechanism to assign urls users would use to access the functions.
On one hand i like that user access is explicit, no (* * *) for some. But on the other if the list is too complex there may be too many options and may hinder maintanence - can't see the wood for the trees syndrome.
