GOAL:
How to implement Dynamics security on menu structures for the submenus
FACT(s) (Environment):
Dynamics 2.1A
FIX:
There are two different ways to implement the menu structure security.
1) Using the 'Security Control' -> 'Security allocation' -> 'Menu structures',
you can choose designated menu structure code for the submenu
item reference and assign it to the 'Restricted Menu Structures' list.
Upon restarting the session and login as a restricted user, this
will have the effect that restricted submenu label will show up in its
parent menubar band, but clicking on it, or moving the mouse pointer
over it will not trigger display of its submenu items.
2) To remove entirely the submenu label, it is required to do the following:
- In the "Toolbar and Menu Designer" you should locate your item
reference for that submenu label and add a value into the field
'Security action'. You can put in there the same name as the item reference
name to make it easier to remember.
- After saving this change, close the 'Toolbar and Menu Designer'
window and go to the 'Security Control' -> 'Security maintenance' -> 'Actions'.
In that screen add the new action with the action code used in the
previous step, together with it's appropriate description.
The default values in the 'Security Structure' tab folder can be left as
they are. Save these changes.
- Go to 'Security Control' -> 'Security allocation' -> 'Actions' where
you choose the user or group, click on the 'Refresh' button and from the
list of available actions select the action code and move it to the
'Restricted Actions' list. Save the changes upon making this modification.
- Restart the session and login as restricted user. Navigating to the
top level menubar will display its drop down menu which will not contain
designated submenu label at all.
