Navigation menu supplementary information
Navigation menu display logic
Advanced Identity Cloud uses the following display logic to determine which menu items to display in the navigation menu for a given end user:
-
Profile selection: The UI determines which navigation profile to use for the end user based on their group membership:
-
If an end user is assigned to a single navigation profile, the UI uses that profile.
-
If an end user is assigned to multiple navigation profiles, the UI uses the first of these profiles when ranked in ascending order.
-
If an end user isn’t assigned to any navigation profiles, the UI uses the fallback configuration in the hosted pages theme that’s been configured for the end user. This could be the realm default theme or an override theme that’s been specified using a
themeIdparameter in the URL.
-
-
For the selected navigation profile (or the fallback configuration in a hosted pages theme), the menu items displayed by the UI depend on several further factors:
-
Availability and visibility: Menu items display based on their availability and visibility as follows:
-
Available as standard, visible by default to all end users. Learn more in Navigation menu items available as standard.
-
Available as standard, visible based on the delegated administrator privileges of the end user. Learn more in Navigation menu items available as standard.
-
Available and visible to all end users as part of an add-on capability, such as Identity Governance. Learn more in Navigation menu items available with add-on capabilities.
-
-
Configuration: You can override the visibility of menu items through configuration settings to suit your company’s needs.
This lets you hide certain menu items that aren’t relevant to your end users. For example, hiding the organization menu item from organization administrators whose regular job only requires managing users within the organization, but not the organization itself. Learn more in Change menu item visibility.
You can also change the order and grouping of menu items in the navigation menu, add custom menu items, and modify their icons to align with your branding.
