Menu security

Chapter 12 "Using the Toolbar and Menu Designer" shows you how menus and toolbars are divided into bands, that is, groups of related items or toolbar buttons. The term menu structure refers to these bands.

Security allocations of this type have the following effects:

Revoke model — Prevents a user or a group from seeing a menu or toolbar. By default, Progress Dynamics allows all users to see the menus and toolbars of the containers they have access to.
Grant model — Allows a user or group to see a menu or toolbar. By default, Progress Dynamics prevents all users from seeing menus and toolbars in a container.

The security system is aware of all menu structures. Therefore, you do not have to create a structure in the Security Control tool to represent them.
