I'm not sure if this should be under features or under tech talk, but I am hoping it is an integrated feature as I don't think I'd have rights to get my hands this dirty in code here.

What I am looking to do is to hide certain elements of a page based on the access rights of the member. More directly: my guild admin team wants to have a needs section but sidebar'ed with raid points for tracking purposes. The members would only see the needs section, but any officer or higher would see the raid points as well.

I know you can hide entire tabs, but is there a way to hide individual elements, either through coding or through some hidden display option?

I'm going to third this.  I don't know how hard it would be for the developers of the site to do this - but I think EVERY box on every page should have the option of setting access level.  It would make designing the site so much easier.

I also think there should be a way to set the "default access level" that each feature starts out with when you create it.  Most of my site is NOT public access, so every page or feature I create that has an access level gets changed.  It would be nice to be able to set a default somewhere.
