Favorites
The Favorites module allows administrators the ability to create a list of "favorites" or quick-links that will be available to users in a block. This module does NOT allow users to define their own links. Instead the administrator can define a list of links and the user can choose to turn on/off each link individually. Perhaps you can think of it as a user configurable nav-bar.
Each favorite can be configured to default to visible, hidden, or persistent (always on). And favorites can be associated with roles so that they are only available to certain users. So for example, you could create a link to 'admin/logs' that is only available to admin users. And by setting the default to visible or persistent, this favorite will appear automatically once the user receives the associated role.
Drupal community sites can get very confusing with lots of nodes and many tucked-away items. Favorites module provides a way for administrators to guide users to important parts of the site.
