[Zope-CMF] Another one about Portal_types and Actions

[Ausum Studio]

The default CMF is bundled with a method called "actions_box", found at both
the "generic" and "zpt_generic" skin folder, being the latter the default
(used by the basic skin). There resides all the stuff you are wanting to
hide to your regular users.It's visible by default.

All you have to do is to modify it, making visible only the commands you
want, under the condition that the current user has the roles you've had
previously set and determined.

As that doesn't restrict them to still use those hidden methods, you'll need
to modify the security settings too.
