As always, the answer is it depends.

If you're just interested in hiding an area that's easy.

1. Create an audience in the portal for your users
2. Add the users/domain groups you want in the audience
3. Compile it
4. Assign it to an area
5. Set the security so those users do not have access to it

You need to do both. Security will lock it down and not give them
access, even if they had the url. The audience will filter the view of
it so they don't see it.

If it's a list or library, you can open it up in FrontPage 2003 (no
other way that I know of) and select the list from the site, bring up
it's properties and mark it hidden. A user can still get to it if he
knows the url but at least it won't show up in lists and such. Note:
This action will *not* unghost your site/page as you're modifying a
list, not a page in the portal.
