Good man! Let me find you a few references (hopefully) and then I can assist you from there if needed. If you do not like the way it works you can always go third party, but you will not need to. I have recently put it through it's paces and was satisfied.

Use these canned variables in the
"Show Permission Name" when create a Tab, Menu or Link. (See Navigational Manager)
Please read the help tab on the row item in the navigational manager. It will make more sense now.
You can easily create show variables for user-groups or any other custom condition with a
simple plugin. Just remember that you can place a condition on a tab, but it might only be hidden from the menu. In order for the code to be restricted the same show variable needs to wrap your code.
The show variables below already do both. If you are having trouble finding what you need. Just ask most of us around here know how to reference these variables.

This is just a dump of the $show variables off a vanilla version of 4.2.1 on my development system.
Of course you can simply create your own show variable. I will address that in the next post.
