tl;dr: Contacts needs to have full Profiles basically.

As we have discussed before, the whole Portal access control needs a bit 
of a rethink...

we have a heavily customised Portal for one customer where they need the 
customer to be able to edit certain fields in one module (It's their 
Energy Supply meter information) and also to be able to create new 
records related to that module (in this case they need to submit Meter 
Readings).

We've had to hack and modify the SOAP/Portal code to support this in 
rather a hardcoded way.

If the Portal UI is going to get some love, then the access control at 
the vtiger-end also needs attention too ;-)

No one can reasonably expect to understand all the use-cases users will 
have for the Portal therefore it needs to become as configurable as 
possible.

Cheers
