Please don't override html/Elements/Tabs, it's a large file and
every time you upgrade you'll need to merge your changes.

Use the Privileged or Unprivileged callbacks that we provide.

There are examples of how to do this cleanly on
http://requesttracker.wikia.com/wiki/Menus

For Pattabi's workflow, you'll want $group->HasMemberRecursively to
check if someone is in a group.

It often makes sense to optimize this code to check the membership and
then cache some information in the user's session.  We've profiled a
number of RT instances for clients where lots of extra group checks
caused page slowdowns until we added some caching in.
