We are examining this in more detail for 4.7.x and 4.8. Right now it will
work if you set it up right and possibly fiddle a few pages, but it is far
from perfect.

In all likelihood, we will add the ability to create your own permission
levels to the permissions editor. You can then set up your own access
control for custom pages and reports with

	[if-mm advanced your_permission]
	Allow access
	[else]
	No access
	[/else]
	[/if-mm]
