Custom Menu User Cookie

Custom menus show different options to different users based on their role and permissions. For example, some users can see and use the extensionManage Calendar while others cannot. This feature ensures users only see the menu options they're allowed to use.

  • The new cookie option keeps your data secure by showing menu options only to authorized users

  • The interface is cleaner and more relevant for each user

When you click to open a custom menu:

  • The system checks who you are and which organization you belong to

  • Based on this information, it shows you only the menu options you're allowed to see

  • You can then safely access any of the displayed options

For example, if you're not authorized to manage calendars:

  • You won't see the Manage Calendar entry

  • This prevents accidental attempts to access restricted features

  • Your menu stays focused on the tools you actually use

To make this work, your system needs to track:

  • Which menu you're trying to open

  • Who you are and your login status

  • Which organization you belong to

The system can get this information in two ways:

  • Through your login session

  • By checking your user ID directly
