I've running a rather large multi-module system all based on C::A. My admin
user interface allows me to create a permissions file to allow access to
entire modules as well as individual aspects of that module.

i.e. Reporting Module           [ y / n ]
   -> See General Reports     [ y / n ]
   -> Download As Excel      [ y / n ]
   -> See Detailed Reports    [ y / n ]
   -> View Geo-plot Report  [ y / n ]

For various reasons, some of these run-modes may not be accessible to the
client (or certain admin users within the client's organization). Therefore,
rm-level auth is nessecary for me, otherwise I'd have to split each of the
rm's off into their own module and I'd have more modules then I know what to
do with (which is currently almost the case anyways :p )
