So you don't just want the owner to be able to read the module.. you'll need 
to define groups for the users of each module and add access control.

???  creating a module is one command, and the platform is irrelevant to the 
operation.

Are we talking about the same thing here?

Well, you want them accessible by a group of users, so accessible only by a 
single user wouldn't be very useful.

You have two choices:

1. Leave the root ACL open so anyone can create modules, then have them lock 
it down to the users/groups they want access to (users have admin rights on 
the directories they initially create).
2. Create all the modules and set them up beforehand.  80 is about 10 minutes 
work.
