[Plone-UI] How to hide a portlet (Site Setup) based on roles?

[Veda Williams]

Hm, I just added a testuser to a vanilla Plone site and clicked on the
user's name to access their preferences, and I do not see a Site Setup
portlet. It just takes me to a dashboard area with no right or left
columns.... 

My thought is that you probably have to modify something in the
plone.app.controlpanel egg (control-panel.pt), but I'm not sure. This might
be a question better asked on the plone-users list.

Cheers,
