Sounds good to me. For the drop-down menu we can use the same language already used for the "Create groups" option:
- Administrators only
- Administrators and staff only
- Everyone

I wouldn't distinguish between institution and site staff on the site
level, but leave that up to the institutions.

Title:
  Allow public pages for staff and admins only

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When you use Mahara with a range of different age groups, you may
  prevent certain ages from creating public pages so that they don't
  share their pages accidentally with the public, e.g. young children
  who don't look at the sharing options carefully.

  I propose we be more granular in who can create public pages and public profiles on the institution level:
  - everyone
  - staff and admins only

  Ideally, an admin could overwrite the setting for individual "trusted"
  regular users as well so that they don't need to be given the staff
  role as that comes with more privileges.

  And now it's looking more and more like being able to create other
  roles and be able to manage permissions more like Moodle manages
  capabilities...

  Curently, roles are hard-coded in Mahara and thus that would need to
  change first.
