Limiting menus from WebTools

The itnmadmin user can modify the list of WebTools menu items visible to a specific role.

About this task

Procedure

Within $ITNMHOME/gui/precision_gui/profile/etc/tnm/menus, open the configuration file for the WebTools menu item that you want to modify.
For example, for the Topology Management menu item, open the ncp_topo_mgmt_menu.xml configuration file.
Within the configuration file, for the role name parameter, enter the role name.

Example

Display the Topology Management menu item if users are assigned the ncp_topo_mgmt role and you are in the hop view.

[root@CO9128108199 menus]# more ncp_topo_mgmt_menu.xml
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<ncp_menu id="ncp_topo_mgmt_menu" key="ncp_topo_mgmt_menu" label="Topology Management">
        <definition>
                <tool id="addDevice"/>
                <tool id="deleteDevice"/>
                <tool id="addConnection"/>
                <tool id="removeConnection"/>
        </definition>
        <context>
                <attribute id="clientType">
                        <equals value="ncp_hopview" />
                </attribute>
        </context>
         <security>
                <role name="ncp_topo_mgmt"/>
        </security>
</ncp_menu>

Display the Apply Policy menu item if users are assigned the ncmPolicyCheck role and they select one device for which there is a record in the networkConfigMgr table and the device ncmKey is not empty. The entityId lookup is implicit in this example.
