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?

contained more information, integrated web forms, additional links), then you
can set access controls to those pages, such as through Content
Access/ACL. 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.
