I'm not if it will solve your problem but Views can be restricted to
roles. When editing a view, check the Access item under >> Basic Settings.
Thanks for the tip John. The View can actually be restricted to certain Roles (I believe), but it doesn't make the link itself that calls the View _NOT_ appear which is what I need.

Unfortunately Drupal isn't so straightforward as to provide a one to one relationship between an accessible/inaccessible node and the permissions page (which would have been great). One has to fiddle and experiment for quite some time before the relationship is clear sometimes.
Besides the path to the nodes in question are defined through a View (and not a page) and so I believe Content Access/ACL will be redundant. How do you grant access to a _View_ based on role? Is there a way? Please correct me if I am wrong?

I am not sure but I think the Drupal menu system will take the page permissions into account before displaying the menu links. I could be wrong though.

I have a block in a sidebar with 3 menu items. Call them A, B, and C.
1) A is available to authenticated users. It allows them to create new groups once they are authenticated. Creating a group automatically promotes the creator to being a group member and a group admin.
2) B is available to authenticated users, who are members of or have created one group at least. It allows them to post to a group.
3) C is available to authenticated users, who are members of or have created one group at least. It allows them to invite users to the group.
How do I conditionally give authenticated users access to links on the basis of their roles within the same block (and not separate blocks)?
What I have found so far is that either the entire block is visible or invisible. What I want instead is that some of the links should be present under certain conditions while at other times not.
