# Deactivate a Default Menu Set

## **Purpose**

---

This article will review the steps to deactivate a default menu set.

When VisualVault is installed, all users will see a default menu set until another menu set is created and set as the new default or until a user is assigned to a different menu.

The default menu is identified by the checkmark in the Active column.

Once a menu is created and users are added, it is active. The active column only displays if the Menu Set is the default menu.

## **Deactivate a Default Menu Set**

---

**There are two ways to disable a default menu set:**

1. Make another menu set the default.
  - This would follow the steps in [Enable a Default Menu Set](https://visualvault.freshdesk.com/en/support/solutions/articles/47001154731).
2. Using the Deactivate Link.
  - This would activate the built-in default menu.  Any users assigned to other menus would see their assigned menu upon logging in.

**To disable a menu set using the Deactivate link:**

1. Log in as a VaultAccess user to VisualVault.
2. Hover over the user information in the upper right-hand corner of the window and select Control Panel.
3. Select the Admin Tools tab.
4. Select Menus.
5. In the Activate Column, select the Deactivate link next to the current default menu.
  - This will remove the checkmark in the Active column.
