Re: [appfuse-user] dynamic menu rendering based on user roles

2009-09-20 Thread measwel
Well, I want to discern different types of users. Based on the type, I want the system to expose different functionality. Roles seemed quite useful for this, as I can both set the type by assigning a role to the user and render a menu dynamically. I found out that when a menu is specified for a r
