OK, ignor this.

The custom menu works well for creating a category-based menu. Granted, you have to manually enter each item - but our menu did not exactly match the category tree anyway.

To create workgroup-base navigation, I:

1. Created a category for every group (this is how you organize the content)
2. Created one group for each workgroup (organize the people)
   • also set "use group homepage"
   • created the wiki page for the group
   • assigned the group wiki page to its appropriate category
3. Set permission on the category to allow it's group the correct access.
   • you may have to remove some permissions from the Editors and Registered groups to keep others out.
4. Categorize your forums, pages, calendars, file galleries. Access and visibility should now be controlled by the permissions on the categories.
   • Object specific permissions, such as admin forum, attach file, etc.. will still need to be set.

Create a module using the menu and assign the module to a navigation bar.
