It would really be a great addition to support a role-based drop down menu. Most, perhaps all, of the vision components support role based security and it seems natural to extended that to the main menu. I’d like to be able to post different menus based on the role and I’d also like to be able to grey out / disable certain selections based on role.

not sure about the graying out but you could definitely script what you want to show up based on roles.
