[dev] Small patch for horde/templates/prefs/select.inc

[Tim Gorter]

I'd like to suggest another option, although I don't know how easy it is to
implement. and that is with the active option, but then using a level. This
then equating to what privilege a user might have.

In other words that in a users table you could have guest = 0 normal user =
1... administrator = 8 etc. and then depending on what level a user might
be, equates to what he can, or cannot see / use.

maybe the 'level' of any module being defined in registry.php

the show menu then still functioning as before, but only showing an option
in the menu if user has rights for that item.
