We have customers who want _certain_ users of the Portal to be able to 
create and/or edit/delete records from arbitrary modules (could be a 
standard vtiger module or could be vtlib created custom module).

In the Customer Portal Settings module:

1. there is only one "class" of portal user (all get the same access)
2. you cannot add or remove the ability to create/edit/delete records on 
a per module basis in the portal configuration - only certain modules 
permit create at all, most do not. None have delete.

I've not really thought this through but it might make more sense to 
have a new kind of "User" record in vtiger - one which can only login 
from the portal, but their access controls can be dealt with using the 
standard Role/Profile/Sharing Access type approach?
