Dynamic menu features
The actions available on the selection menu for a specific release depends on the current state of the release. When the user clicks the selection menu, the actions available on the menu change dynamically based on the current state of the release.

Note:
- If the environment selected has only a view permission, the only action available on the menu is to view the business rules. The user may not be able to change the status of the release, nor can the user add, insert, update, or copy any of the business rules.
- If the environment selected has no permission at all, the user may not see any options available on the menu on the manage releases page. The user can still see the list of the releases but no actions are allowed.
- If the environment selected has no permission to delete, the user cannot delete any release even though they may have the delete releases permission category.
