It would be nice to show menu type based on role. So if I make a new menu beyond navigation, I can assign it to a certain role and it will SimpleMenu will show it to that user.

Alice Heaton commentedHello,
I wrote a patch that allows simplemenu to display more than one menu. As only the menus for which the current user has permissions can get displayed, this allows you to have a menu per role (and if the user has several roles, to get the menus for all those roles).
The patch against 6.x-1.2 can be found here : http://drupal.org/node/504432
Hope people find this useful :)

AlexisWilke commentedWould it work for you guys to have an additional fieldset in the User Edit form? Where the user could choose to see any one of the menu available to him/her?
Thank you.

AlexisWilke commentedIt seems to me that the use of Nice Menus would do since that presents a block and each block can be assigned a role.
So since I got no answer for one month and I think this is a good solution, I will close this issue for now.
Thank you.
