Menu item security

This section describes how to define security on the individual items you defined in the Toolbar and Menu Designer. These can be menu items, toolbar buttons, or a single item visualized as both. The Security Control tool, however, uses the term “Menu items” to refer to all of these.

Security allocations of this type have the following effects:

Revoke model — Prevents a user or a group from selecting a menu item or toolbar button. The item appears grayed out. By default, Progress Dynamics allows all users to select all menu items and buttons.
Grant model — Allows a user or group to see a menu or toolbar. By default, Progress Dynamics prevents all users from seeing menu items and toolbar buttons.

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