Menu Security Groups are set up to define the menu structure for all those users who are allocated to that Menu Security Group. There is only one Menu Security Group per user


The menu that is displayed is the one allocated to that user.
All menu items in the Menu Security Group are also listed in the Quick Select dropdown, which is always the white box at the end of the menu bar.



Menu Allocation via People Maintenance

Menus
This is where you add or maintain a menu.
If you delete a menu it will also delete all the items attached to that menu. If there are Sub Menus you will have to run Menu Cleanup. Note that the deletion is only for this Security Group. It does not delete menus or menu items for other Security Groups

To add a menu to a Security Group menu, arrow to the bottom of the section, manually enter an ID and a title.


This menu once created and saved will then need to be added to a previous menu to make it accessible.
