Applying Security to Menu Items

Purpose

This article will review the steps to apply security to a menu item.

When adding menu items, security can be configured for each item added.  Something to note is that if no security is applied to menu items, anyone assigned to the menu will be able to see/interact with the item.

• Even if someone can see/interact with a menu item, some areas of VisualVault will not permit someone to navigate to the selected item due to additional security requirements (an example would be Form Templates).
