Introduction

This section of the documentation explains how an administrator can manage the navigation menu of the application.

A menu item is an entry in the navigation menu. It carries a label, an optional icon and tooltip, and a destination — either a route within the application or an external URL. Items can be nested to any depth, so a parent item becomes a group that holds other entries, and an item can also be a separator that divides the menu into sections.

Which users see a given entry is decided per item. An item can either follow the access rules the application already defines for its target view, or carry an explicit set of role constraints. Either way, an item the current user is not allowed to see is simply absent from the menu, with no indication that it exists.

All of this is done from a single view, Menu Items management, which lists the configured items as a tree and gives access to the creation, edition, reordering, deletion, and import and export features.
