Menus

Menus is a standard tree configuration interface for adding, editing, and removing the custom menus that control which tools a user sees when right-clicking multiple selected markers on the Vision map. The Global menu is the default top-level menu, and you can add a hierarchy of menus for different user groups beneath it to give different groups access to different tools.

Although you can grant access to a menu in the User Group Name field, anything set in the RestrictiveVisionMenuID user group property overrides what is set here. See User Groups for information about the User Groups interface where you set RestrictiveVisionMenuID.

Unlike other menus in Unified Assurance, such as those for events, diagrams, and topology, the hierarchies that you create for Vision menus do not appear as submenus in Vision. Users see one flat menu that contains all tools from the highest level of menu that their user group has access to, and any submenus under it.

For example, you can create different menus for Operators and Viewers under the Global menu. Anyone in the Operators user group will only see the tools added to the Operators menu, and anyone in the Viewers user group will only see the tools added to the Viewers menu. Because both of these menus are nested beneath the Global menu, anyone in the Administrators user group will see a single-level menu with all the tools from the Global menu, the Operators menu, and the Viewers menu. If the same tool appears in more than one menu, it will appear more than once in the administrator’s menu.

For general information about interacting with the grid and form, see Standard Tree Configuration Interface in Unified Assurance Concepts.

This user interface calls REST methods from the api/vision/menus endpoints. See REST API for Unified Assurance Core for details.

The UI path for this interface is Configuration -> AAA -> Authentication Types.

Form Fields

• Menu Name: The name for the menu.
