Adding User-Specific Menu Items

User links provide access to websites, FTP sites, email, local intranet sites, or files available on your network through an additional Accolade menu available to individual users. Administrators can define up to five links for each user.

To define a link that is available for all users, or users assigned a specific role, see Adding Menu Items for Multiple Users (Global Links).

User-specific links display under the My Links menu, which is only available if the user account has a user-specific link defined, or if a global link is defined to display in that menu.

To create a user link for one or more users:

1. From the System menu, select Security & Groups > User Admin.
