User configured VIEW fields Curious, is there a module or technique I can use to easily allow my clients (who log in with a limited role) to manage fields visible in any given view?

Actually there are two specific content types and two specific page views -- which I would love to give them the capability to customize to their liking.
Sounds like something you can do with Views Dynamic Fields. Unfortunately there's only a D6 release atm, but perhaps you can port the module to D7 when it seems to fit your needs.
