[Building Sakai] Tool must be available but not in the left navigation area

[Frank Benneker]

Thx fot the suggestions.

I think only the first one will work in practice because I want to  
have the link in the menubar available for the role: maintain

I think it will be a new requirement use case:  the option to make  
items in the menubar visible or not based on the role in the site.
The tool itself should be available for all roles.
