For example, I want certain affilliates to be able to get to an 'admin' or it could say Afilliate info when that affiliate signs in.  That menu items then directs to plugin controllers/views (diffent than regular admin)

Then I want to be able add additional admin functions for an admin.

I would like to be able to do this in a way that minimizes changes to the core source code.

I see that Menu.cshtml is part of the menu building and that it appears to be working with plugins.

any ideas on who best to proceed?
