### Creating and Managing Action Bar and Global Header Layouts The Action bar can contain a number of sections, such as Message Center, Search, Enhanced Keyword Search, and Recently Viewed. You can create custom layouts for the Action bar and the global header, customize the global header section, and assign these layouts to specific roles in Oracle CRM On Demand. Configuration changes to both the action bar and the global header are visible only to the roles using the modern theme. However, for roles using a classic theme, only configuration changes to the action bar layout are visible. ### Making the Action Bar Unavailable to Users By default, the Action bar appears on the left side of all Oracle CRM On Demand pages. Users can hide or show the Action bar as required. For more information, see About Showing or Hiding the Action Bar. If you want the Action bar to be unavailable to a certain user role, then set up an action bar layout that is empty (that is, no sections are displayed or available in the layout), and assign that layout to the user role. The Action bar is then permanently hidden from the users who have that user role. The following procedure describes how to add an action bar layout.
