11.4.2 Authorizing Menu Access

Your Navigation Menu list defines the entries users click to reach your app’s business functions.

By default, a menu entry is available to all users, including unauthenticated ones. As shown below, use the built-in Must Not Be Public User authorization scheme rule to ensure the user must have logged in successfully to see that entry. The Woods HR menu entries use the following authorization schemes:

  • HomeMust Not Be Public User, so user must have logged in
  • Employee DirectoryAny Employee, so any employee can access the directory
  • Salary ReviewHR Representative Only, so only HR Reps can review salary details
  • AdministrationAdministrators Only, so only App Admins can see and adjust app settings.
