I've never understood why Joomla comes with several groups (Public, Author, Editor, Publisher, Manager, Admin, Super Admin), yet the only choices for Access Level in viewing a module are Public, Registered, and Special.  What if I only want the public to view certain thinks like a message to register and not have registered viewers see it?  What if I want to hide something from everyone but Administrators?

We're continuing our model of "we feel your pain" at JoomlaPraise and have developed a lightweight module that will save you from irritating workarounds and having to tell a customer "that's not how it works", introducing AccessLevelModule!  Simply enter a module position into AccessLevelModule and you'll be able to pick exactly which Joomla User Groups can view the module.  You can also choose which module style (xhtml, rounded, etc) the modules will produce when rendered!

Here's a screenshot of the module parameters:

Simple enough?
