2.4.6.2 Filtering navigation with permissions

To filter navigation with permissions

Open the core.xml file located in the Viewpoint home directory.
Locate the <nav-menu> section, the desired <menu> sub-section then the link to filter.
Use the <permission> element inside <link> to require a permission in order to view the link.

<nav-menu>
  <menu label="Reporting…">
    <permission name="reports.read" />
    <link href=href="reporting" target="thisWindow" label="Reports"></link>
  </menu>
</nav-menu>

Only users with the report.read permission may access reporting. The permission should be specified in the <link> element if the restriction only applies to one specific link in the category.
