Using Rules to Hide Navigation Items
Describe how to use the Hide Navigation Item Rule section on a Security Role to hide navigation items.
Hiding items in the Nav Bar
Because CreataCRM is a complete product, there is many elements in CreataCRM that users dont need to know
For example Jobs users dont need to see marketing. Warehouse, and Sales. With this in mind, you can start hidding elements in CreataCRM to make it easy for users to use.
Adding a New Role that hides Views
Make sure you are admin and have access to the admin View, This feaure can be dangerous, as unattended issues can happen if you start hidding on the adminsitrator account, IE, Admin user cant access Admin features. Which would require smart hands to fix ths issue up.
