688.0. "Security on User-defined menus?" by 45862::BOND () Mon Feb 17 1997 15:36

    TeMIP framework security guide shows how you can customise access to
    menu items and launched applications on the IconicMap's Operations and
    Applications menus.  Can this be extended to a user-defined menu eg:
    if I have the following security line:-
    
    disallow only start application on mcc 0 iconicmap_pm
    launch_application secret
    
    and my mcc_appl_secret.def file contains:
    
    MENU: Specials
     BUTTON: Secret
       SHELL: /usr/users/temip/secret.csh
    ENDMENU
    
    and my mcc_appl_not-secret.def contained:
    
    MENU: Specials
     BUTTON: Not-secret
       SHELL: /usr/users/temip/not-secret.csh
    ENDMENU
    
    then would my user see the 'Specials' menu with just the Not-Secret
    button?

Chris,

	You are right, you will see only one entry in you menu.
	the one that has not been disallowed by the security.
