Ah, what I'm interested in is doing it INSIDE the GUI, on a folder
level, not on a "Module" level, or a global level.  For example, if I
access a folder with it's own Userfolder, and authorize on that, then
want to go to the MAIN /manage screen, I have to reauthorize, which is
fine, since they both use "Main" as the realm.  BUT when I go BACK to
the sub folder (above), I'm still running as the "superuser" or
whatever.

I hope this makes sense :-)  Let me know if I'm wacked out completely
:-)
