Disable menu item for specific role

Hi all,

our environment:
TS 6.7.1 SP1+Patch 2 on Win 2003 SP1

We have the requirement to disable the menu item "File -> Users and Roles" for one specific role.
It's no problem to disable the menu item for all roles through some modifications in ui_custom.xml,
but we found no way to to disable the menu item for only one role.
Also there's no checkbox within the Administration tab -> Roles Admin screen...

Any hints?

Regards
Stefan

you can try using roles_custom.xml
as a workaround you can restrict using roles.xml under /conf/roles folder

This seems to be a issue .. WE have few Custom menus in our teamsite and there are some refereces in the UI customisation docs for doing this but even IW support was not able to help rersolve the issue .. we were not able to restirct our custom menus according to roles .. what we did eventually is restricted accordign to the branch selected Smiley Happy

in our perl code for custom menu ..

roles_custom.xml no longer exists in 671, it has been replaced with userops.xml.
'roles.xml' is TS system resource, you should not modify it's access permissions.

For restricting a custom menu item by role in TS 671, we need to give its entry in the userops.xml file. On rebuilding the toolkit, it shows the new menu item as a checkbox option in the interface. We can get there by going to "Custom User Operations" section of any role in Manage Roles under Administartion tab. So like this we can restrict the Menu Item for different roles.
