Currently if a user has permission to administer a page they can add any installed module to that page.  This works fine where there are a small number or administrators that fully understand DNN and what the different module do.  But in situations where an administrator of a big site wants to deligate responsibility for content of parts of the site to other people (less technical and/or less DNN-savy) this becomes an issue.  If one of these "content owners" unknowingly adds a module to a page without understanding what that module does they could expose content to users who should not see it and possibly allow users to change data that they should not.

The "User Account" module is an example of a module that could cause porblems.  Also, a lot of  "Form Builder" commercial modules have admin type modules for accessing all data behind all the forms.  These module exposed to regular users could be a big issue.

It would be nice if there was security at the module definition level set in an admin module that only members of the Administrators role can see.  Only modules that a user has access to could be added to pages that they can edit.  This would also make training these "editors" a lot simplier, they would only have to be taught to use the few modules they would need.

What does everone think of this, would this be useful to anyone else?
