By default, a menu option is displayed whenever a user has access to the underlying Application Service definition attached to objects that are indirectly linked to a menu entry. While this behavior is enough for most needs, it is possible to place an override on an individual menu item to override the lower level security levels. This is particularly useful where implementations intend to replace base-supplied menu items with custom menu items.

By linking a menu item to a new service that can reference the underlying objects and specifying an Application Service (optionally also including an Access Mode) would override the permissions on the underlying objects.

It is possible to specify the Application Service on a menu item by using the Menu Items tab of the Menu option on the Administration menu.
