With some CMSs such as Joomla, menus are very powerful features. They can control layouts, permissions, metadata and much more.

In Drupal, menus have almost no power at all. By default, menus are not capable of controlling much more than the destination of their link. So, we end up with a lot of questions from students about menus.

This week a student asked us how they control who can see menu links. This tutorial is our answer.

We're going to show how Drupal menu permissions work and how you can make them more powerful.
