[Aaron Wells <1251955@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

On mahara.org I've implemented a prototype system to restrict the
ability of probationary user to create public pages. It still needs some
cleaning up.

It sounds like there are a few different categories of people we think might be allowed to create public pages (or profiles):
 - all users
 - probationary users
 - staff
 - admins
 - institutional staff
 - institutional admins

We're heading down that slippery slope towards an atomic permissions
system like Moodle. ;)

Title:
  Restrict creating of public pages

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Currently, you can only either have public pages for all or none at
  all (per institution), but cannot say that for example only admins and
  staff can create public pages or other trusted users. This is a
  problem not just on mahara.org where we would like for users to create
  public pages when we trust them, i.e. aren't spammers, but also for
  schools when they want teachers to be able to create public pages, but
  not necessarily first graders.
