Menu Priveleges

[Stuart Taylor]

There is no way to apply privileges to Custom Menus is there?

Would love to make items disappear in relation to Account Privileges...

A way would be great ... a No would be good to know too...

Uh the only way is to call a script that install a different menu set depending on your priv set.

If [ Get ( PrivilegeSetName ) = "Admin" ]

Install Menu Set [ "Admin Menus" ]

End If

Cheers Mr V ... Thats pretty much a no then.

Thats all i need to know.

Will have to use the "" label calculation... ugly but functional.

Many thanks.

Yeah the custom menu function is definately a good thing to have in FM, but it still has some major improvements that it could use. Removing the exit option for windows is one and not having to create a ton of custom sets is another.

The other plugins out there may possibly do what you are looking to do but although it may be cumbersome, it seems as though from what I took of your post, that you want different menus for different users privilege sets, no?

If that is the case; again it gets annoying to contantly call a subscript and build a ton of priv sets, but you could achieve that with the above method.

If [ Get ( PrivilegeSetName ) = "Admin" ]

Install Menu Set [ "Admin Menus" ]

Else If [ Get ( PrivilegeSetName ) = "Secretary" ]

Install Menu Set [ "Secretary Menus" ]

Else If [ Get ( PrivilegeSetName ) = "Outside" ]

Install Menu Set [ "Read Only Menus" ]

End If

I have been doing a bit of playing and here is an Example File that goes some way to a bit of control.
