This wish is open

Description

What if we had a new module similar to the [[iftags]] module?

It should be easy to implement:

[[ifuser ma]]
You are the master administrator
[[/ifuser]]

[[ifuser admin]]
You are an administrator
[[/ifuser]]

[[ifuser mod]]
You are a moderator
[[/ifuser]]

[[ifuser member]]
You are a member
[[/ifuser]]

Like the [[iftags]], you would be able to combine them and use simple logic:

[[ifuser mod admin]]
You are either a moderator or an administrator
[[/ifuser]]

[[ifuser -member]]
You are not a member
[[/ifuser]]

This would be a very useful function as you would be able to display things only to specific members (such as links to the admin:manage page, which looks a bit unprofessional to normal members if they can't use it). Or you could make elements/pages of the wiki private. You could combine it with the [[iftags]] module:

[[iftags private]]
[[ifuser admin]]
%%content%%
[[/ifuser]]

[[ifuser -admin]]
You do not have sufficient privileges to view this page.
[[/ifuser]]
[[/iftags]]

[[iftags -private]]
%%content%%
[[/iftags]]
