Changing Permissions for the New Menu Based on Role

You can ensure that the new menu is available or hidden depending on the role.

For more information on customizing roles, refer to Customization of Roles.

By default, the new menu works for all new enterprises.

Procedure

  1. As the roles and the ROLE2FUNCMAP table are created at the time of creating an enterprise, pre-existing enterprises will not receive the new menu correctly. You can work around this constraint by writing update scripts, based on default data, to insert records in the ROLE2FUNCMAP table. Contact TIBCO Support to get a sample script.
  2. To hide the new menu item for some roles, add an entry in the FUNC2IDMAP table for the custom menu item that you have added.
  3. To ensure that the new menu is available only to authorized roles update the defaultdata.xml file. For the GDSN edition, the file is named defaultdata.gdsn.xml.
