Daniel,
I have found that, provided there weren't any errors in my MenuBar.xml
and Action.xml files, they appear automatically in the Web Console
Security application as options that you can select or deselect for a
particular role. I don't think I even needed to bounce any daemons - I
believe the Web Console Security application reads all the relevant
files.
If you don't see you new options, I would start by checking the
modifications again and also check log files.
Cheers,
Jane

struggling with Step number 3 'Use the Web Console Security application to add

seem to find the option for me to do that within the Web Console Security
utility. I can add a user, define roles for users, add new roles, etc. - but
can't seem to find where or how to add a menu item? I can see the list of
options/controls (right hand pane) that a user or role has access to for which
you can check or uncheck to control access.

place.

is to view the details of the event, I want to add to that menu somehow to get
it to invoke a script that facilitates the push to either a flatfile or DB.
