The proper way to control access to maps is through permissions.
See serversetup, or smitty nv6000, configure. You can control whether
users can open a map, open it r/o, or open it r/w. And you can control
whether they can make their own maps (that's the global part).

The proper way to control access to menu functions is to set up Netview
Security. That's a bit more complex, and is covered in the Admin Guide.

Subject:  [NV-L] Menu/Tool Bar customization





Hi,

I need to create an map for a user who can open map through x-emulation and
get a customized menu. I want user not to access "open map" option from
file pull down bar.

What should I need to edit in ovw file which I had copied to a directory
specified by OvwRegDir variable specified in user's .profile. If I delete
the open map option from the file the test pull down bar also disappears.

Regards,
Santosh
