Simulate Navigator Menus in the Security Console
You can simulate Navigator menus available to roles or users. From a simulation, you can review the access inherent in a role or granted to a user. You can also determine how to alter that access to create roles.
Opening a Simulation
To open a simulated menu:
-
Select the Roles tab in the Security Console.
-
Create a visualization graph, or populate the Search Results column with a selection of roles or users.
-
In the visualization graph, right-click a role or user. Or, in the Search Results column, select a user or role and click its menu icon.
-
Select Simulate Navigator.
Working with the Simulation
In a Simulate Navigator page:
-
Select Show All to view all the menu and task entries that may be included in a Navigator menu.
-
Select Show Access Granted to view the menu and task entries actually assigned to the selected role or user.
In either view:
-
A padlock icon indicates that a menu or task entry can be, but isn't currently, authorized for a role or user.
-
An exclamation icon indicates an item that may be hidden from a user or role with the privilege for it, because it has been modified.
To plan how this authorization may be altered:
-
Click any menu item on the Simulate Navigator page.
-
Select either of the two options:
-
View Roles That Grant Access: Lists roles that grant access to the menu item.
-
View Privileges Required for Menu: Lists privileges required for access to the menu item. Lists privileges required for access to the task panel items.
