DLM already has the ability to remove channels that the user isn't authorized to render from the fragments it manages. Many people appreciate this feature quite a bit; it allows them, for example, to create a single 'Students' tab that contains some content that's only delivered to first-term freshmen.

I'd like to enhance DLM to do the same for the header and footer areas. This change would allow me to place links/tools/content in the header or footer that only authorized (administrative or managerial) users could access.

The change is pretty simple. A patch will be attached.
