Hi Syed,

Is your question that you want to hide or show menus? These modules are nodes in the Main menu. The main menu can Be found in the AOT > Menus.

When you grant access to a menu item by means of a privilege or duty the menus are enabled by default. As a user you can hide it from the main menu and enable or disable it again also using the files > View > Modules menu.

If a menu item exists in multiple menus, then it is not possible to revoke a menu. E.g. the Customer list page is available in menu Accounts Receivable and Sales and Marketing.

The modules in the navigation page options are build with the command infolog.navPane().getButtons(). This seems to be part of the kernel, so we can't change this behavior.

That's not a wise approach. Use security to control access to menu items for individual roles.

Hi andre ,

Actually i want to hide that menu from users , actually i have achieved that by calling my custom class method in 'Info' class to hide that menu (payroll and hr), but user can change that using the files > View > Modules menu. so i want to hide my menu also from there. there is a method to fill modules which i came to know from SysNavPaneOptionsDialog form, "infolog.navPane().setCurrMenuButtons(Container)", so i received all the aot modules names from menunode.AOTname() and pass only desired names in that container.

Hi Syed,

The best approach would be checking which menu items are in those menus for a certain role. Then try to find the related duties/privileges and remove these from the roles. You can use e.g. the security development tool to get some insight. Also you can browse in the AOT to e.g. the menu item. Then right click and choose Add-ins > Security tools > Vier related security roles. You will then get a list of the roles, with the duties and privileges which causes these menu items to be visible. (and thus also the menus).

If the menu items left in these modules cannot do harm, you can consider to let the user just hide the menu. It is quicker...

The module will hide itself if users don't have access to any item there. Setting right permissions is the only correct way to implement your requirement.
