Overview

Menu Restrictions can be used to prevent users from being able to view or edit items in the BackOffice. Restrictions can be configured upon Menu Items, Menu Sets, and Price Levels on a per-user basis. Sets of restrictions are combined together in Groups. Multiple Groups can be enabled to allow overlapping of restrictions.

The steps outlined in this document can be used to hide items from users if desired.

Procedure

The process to configure menu restrictions can be broken down into 2 stages:

Create/edit a Group.
Select the restrictions to be included within the Group.
