If anyone knows of an existing hack of this nature, please chime in. Otherwise, Ivory-Tower.net staff will be working on a module that can be used in place of the existing admin menu system and still incorporate all current functionality.
At this point we are working on a system based on re-writable config file that flags each menu item for an associated blockgroup (ie. "user maintenance", "security", whatever you want).
Feature requests are welcome.
