I would like to use these 2 snippets, but like to keep at least the user comments off of the backend page tree. The simplest solution would seem to be to put them in a new table and add buttons to edit and delete that would show up for authorized users. Any other suggestions?
Use the canpost configuration option and webuser groups. Comments need to use the show in menu option set to false, and a menu building snippet that supports the same.
Is that helpful?

Ok, I’ve found my problem--I didn’t properly understand document and user groups in the manager. I had created a document group called "backend" for pages I didn’t want most users to see, but those pages still showed up for all users, behaving as public pages. However when I created a new user group and linked it to the "backend" document group, then those pages disappeared for manager users of other groups. In other words, even though I don’t necessarily need a user group specifically for those backend pages, I still had to assign them to an unused or dummy group in order for them not to show up. I’m not sure if this is by design or a slight bug. It does seem to add an unnecessary extra step.
Thanks guys for your help.
