Other aspects of configuration

The Theme is morphing according to user's permissions
It supports distinctly:

• anonymous users
• authenticated users
• those with page create rights
• those with news create rights
• space admins and global admins

Consider having special groups to denote those who can create content, those who can administer the space and regular users.
