New Menu Permission

• Enabled by Default? - Yes
• Set up by customer Admin? - No
• Enable via Support ticket? - No
• Affects configuration or data? - No
• Roles Affected: - Menu editors, but only impacts  if the new permission is disabled by the organisation

What's Changing?

A new 'menu' permission has been added to control access to change an existing menu's 'menu type'.  This new permission will be enabled by default for all customers so there should be no change to existing user groups' access to be able to edit this field.

Reason for the Change

Facilitates new Menu Cycle app functionality for which a change in 'menu type' (for existing menus) results in incorrect data.

Customers Affected

Optional for all customers.

No customers will be impacted unless they disable the new permission within user groups.

Release Note Info/Steps

The new permission can be enabled and disabled within user groups.  Go to Admin > User Groups > Permissions.
