Thanks Aaron,
adding:
if(in_array("groupAdmin", $user["privileges"])) {
$rt .= menulistLI('blockAllocations');
$rt .= "<a href=\"" . BASEURL . SCRIPT .
"?mode=blockAllocations\">";
$rt .= _("Block Allocations</a></li>\n");
}
to the getNavMenu in utils.php seems to do the trick for hiding the block
allocation menu to regular users.
