I have sent the method signatures to blair.

The UI customisation guide on the Wiki gives an overview: 
<https://wiki.internet2.edu/confluence/display/GrouperWG/Customizing+the+Grouper+UI+v1.0#CustomizingtheGrouperUIv1.0-menu> 
however, the url will change with the official release of Version 1.2.

Basically, subclass PrepareMenuAction and override the method:

protected boolean isValidMenuItem(Map item,GrouperSession 
grouperSession,HttpServletRequest request)

- put your logic first but if not returning false, delegate to the super 
class.

In order to have the UI use the PrepareMenuAction subclass you must 
override / replace the prepareMenu.do action config in struts-config.xml.

I don`t think that displaying the flat view will be any more efficient than 
the hierarchical view the UI enumerates the same Groups for each view.

Shilen: would you compare the time for displaying the flat view - `Hide 
stem hierarchy and show your groups only` and the hierarchical view for a 
subject with few privileges.
