Comment (by dcavins):

 I added a couple of options to the `BP_Group_Extension` `init` arguments.
 They work for setting the display of the menu items, but I'm not figuring
 out how to hook into the access check early in `bp_groups_loader.php` to
 allow a per-extension access setting.

 It seems that the access control is set group-wide via the
 `user_has_access` variable. Can anyone suggest how I might make a check
 based on the requested extension's settings that early in the load process
 (before `bp_groups_loader.php` acts on `user_has_access`)?

 Thanks for your help.
