MODULE OF THE WEEK:

Menu Item Visibility

www.drupal.org/project/menu_item_visibility

This module exposes configurable and extendable visibility settings for menu links. For example, if you want to create a 'My account' link that points to /user, both anonymous and registered users have access to the /userpath, so both will see the link, even if anonymous users do not technically have an account. Using this module will allow you to only have your 'My account' link visible to registered users, and hide it from anonymous users.The module uses the exact same UI used for block visibility settings for familiarity.
