This chapter describes how to specify which Administrative and User Console menu items are available to a particular group.
This chapter discusses the following topics:
You can set the menu items for groups that you manage by using the group menu items page. The menu items listed in the group menu items page are available to that group. You can add items to the page and remove items from it. If a user is a member of multiple groups, then they have access to all of the menus associated with each of the groups to which they belong.
Note:
To ensure that all users of the Administrative and User Console have access to at least the most basic menu items, assign those menu items to theAll Users
group.For example, if User A is a member of two groups, ABC
and XYZ
, and members of the ABC
group are entitled to access Requests.Create
and members of XYZ
are entitled to access Requests.Track
, then User A must be able to access both the Create and Track pages, which are under Requests, of the Administrative and User Console.
Each menu group has the menuGroup.menu group code
property associated with it. Each menu item has the following associated properties:
menuItem.menu group code.menu item code
: Provides the display label of the menu item
menuItem.menu group code.menu item code.link
: Defines the link destination
To create new menu items for groups, you add entries by using the Form Information form. Then you add the corresponding properties.
Table 9-1 presents the complete list of Administrative and User Console menu items to which a user group can be granted access.

Note:
To change the menu group or item names, only thexlWebAdmin.properties
file or locale-specific file, such as the xlWebAdmin_jp.properties
file for Japanese, must be changed. No change is required in the database or code.Identify the group item name that must be changed.
Get the class name of that menu item from the system by using the Form Information form in the client.
For example, for the menu item Request New Resources from My Resources, the class name is My Resources.Request New Resources
. This name is in the database in the WIN
table. This menu item shows that the menu group code is My Resources and the menu item code is Request New Resources.
Record the menu group and menu item codes, and open the xlWebAdmin.properties
file.
Search for the property name in the xlWebAdmin.properties
file.
Change the right hand side value of this property to the new label. This changes the name of the menu group.
In the xlWebAdmin.properties
file, the property name for a menu item display label has the form menuItem.menu group code.menu item code
with the spaces replaced by hyphens. For menu item with code Request New Resources under menu group with code My Resources, the property name is menuItem.My-Resources.Request-New-Resources
.
Locate the property name in the xlWebAdmin.properties
file.
Change the right hand side value of this property to the new label. This changes the name of the menu item.
