Testing User Access
==Overview==
A menu is a set of options available to those with appropriate permissions.
When a [[User|user]] logs into In Arcadia mode it appears as a '''Menu Item''' in the system, their view top right hand side of the system is defined by the [[Menu|menus]] and/or [[Portal|portals]] associated with their [[Role|role]](s)screen.* If you create a [[Portal|portal]] interface for a [[Role|role]], then a [[User|user]] in that [[Role|role]] will not see the [[Administration Interface|administrative interface]] and only see the portal interface.* The only exception to When clicked this rule is for an [[Administrator]] that always has access to all exposes the [[SmartSimple]] menu items, regardless of their [[Role|roles]].* An administrator can access portals associated with their roles by clicking the Application, My Portal menuMenu Items.

When a [[User|user]] logs into the system, their view of the system is defined by the menus and/or [[Portal|portals]] associated with their [[Role|role]](s).
 
In Classic mode (no longer supported as of [[Upgrades#Ending_Support_for_Classic_Interface|November 2019 Upgrade]]), it appears as a series of options on the left hand side of the screen.

==Menus and Roles==
All views of the SmartSimple system are configurable. [[External]] and [[internal]] users will have different views of the system, with differing functions available to them depending on their role.
* You must enable the [[Menu|Menu Icon]] for each [[Role|role]] it is to be available against.
** This is primarily for '''internal '''users only, as external users would typically have their a [[portal]] configured for them with only their user menu available.
* You must select the [[Menu|menu]] items required for each [[Role|role]], even if you are going to associate the role with a [[Portal|portal]].
* Unless [[SmartSimple]] users are placed in specific [[Role|roles]] that have associated [[* Menu|menus]], the menu associated with the “everyone” role will be displayed for those permitted [[User|users]].* If you do not configure the '''Everyone''' menu, or place people in [[Role|roles]] with [[* Menu|menus]] associated, then with a specific role will be displayed for the [[User|users]] will not have any [[Menu|menu]] available when they log into the system!with that role. ** If a person has more than one [[Role|role]], then their [[Menu|menu]] will be composed of all the menu items for all the roles to which they belong.* When you first set up your copy of [[SmartSimple]]* To make menu changes across the board with all roles, you should consider setting the "everyone" menu or, alternatively, place every person in a specific [[RolePortals#Common_aggregated_portal_vs_single_role_portals|role]] with an associated [[Menu|menuCommon Portal]]can be used. * SmartSimple [[Legacy Application Permissions| Legacy application programs ]] will be displayed based on an organisation subscription to that program – access to these programs is not controlled individually by [[Menu|menu]]. You must, however, enable the '''Application MenuIcon''' item – all subscribed programs will be listed under this menu. ==Enabling a Menu Icon for a Role==In this example, you will configure a [[Menu|menu]] for the '''Employee''' role that you previously created.

==Testing User Access==
To test user access, you can use the [[Emulation Mode]] feature. 
The best Another approach for testing a new [[Role|role’s]] access to the system is to launch a new [[Browser|browser]] and log in as the [[User|user]], at the same time as you are logged in as the [[Administrator|administrator]].
Using this technique you can adjust the [[User|user]] access in the [[Administrator|administrator]] session while testing the access in the [[User|user]] session.
 * '''To test multiple roles simultaneously, you must use multiple browsers (e.g. System Administrator in Chrome, Applicant in Firefox, etc) '''** The system will support the most recent browser versions, as well as some versions before the most recent update. ** You may always view the user's browser information in the user's profile, under '''Options – Login Details.''' This never exposes a password, merely the browser used to login for troubleshooting purposes. * If you are using Internet Explorer for both sessions, be sure that the ''' Tools, Internet Options, Advanced Option – Reuse windows for launching shortcuts ''' option is deselected. Otherwise the administrative and user session will merge and neither will be valid.
* Alternatively, you can use Internet Explorer for one session and FireFox for the other session.
* Don’t use FireFox for both sessions as these sessions will become mixed up.
You can stay logged in as this user while you change this interface to a [[Portal|portal]] interface.
