I need to have one kind of menu for regular people and another type of menu for Admin people. Can this be done?
Thanks!

Show block for specific roles:
D6: /admin/settings/block D7: /admin/structure/block
Also, if I'm not mistaken, even without ACL, if a normal user doesn't have permission for a particular content type (say, forum) they cannot see it's menu item.
Thanks for the advice. I tried an example. I created an admin page and set per node permissions to admin only to view content. I then logged out and logged in as regular user. There was the tab I created on the menu for admin page! When I clicked on it "access denied"......
Thanks! Eric

I thought you said in a previous post that you were explicitly *not* looking for that behavior?
What you want to do is create a new menu, call it 'restricted' and add whatever menu items you want below it, configure the admin/structure/block and place it where you want, and configure it show block for specific roles (e.g. administrator)
I was mistaken about the content types: all node content (blog, page, even if you create a restricted type) will appear on the menu for all users with permission to view nodes. However, forum menus do not appear when users without view forum permissions log in. At least that was how it worked for me on D6.
Apologies for any confusion. ;)
