Answers.Text: Thanks - I wanted a more non-intrusive solution for this particular case (if i could pre-filter the activities tab, i could use the API to check whether certain types of activities were present, and provide links to see all of X from the summary page - "this contact has participated in meetings - see relevant activities >" etc )
  
  However, i hadn't considered views for civicrm things, and your suggestion of a block of specific activity types for specific users is pretty appealing for other use cases! will certainly be giving that a go. I'm pretty familiar with views but thanks for the offer.
