In that case you could use checks like <mm:maywrite> and so on around the
parts for extra functionality.
Or, perhaps you could check on rank, for which unfortunately does not exist
a tag, but it is simple anyway
<mm:cloud jspvar="cloud">
<% if (Rank.getRank(cloud.getUser().getRank()).compareTo(Rank.getRank("basic user"))
> 0) { %>
<% } %>
</mm:cloud>
Which is a real life example which I use myself.
Coming to think of it, a <mm:rank> tag would be handy, for this.
