User permissions and navigation item security

The comparison of a navigation item's access level to the logged on user's access level follows inheritance rules. If a parent navigation item is not visible during runtime because its access level is greater than the logged on user's access level, all child navigation items are also hidden, even if the child navigation items have been assigned access levels less than the user's access levels.

If the user cannot access a navigation item during runtime, then the content from the next accessible navigation item is displayed based on the selected Auto-Fill mode. A comparison is made between the user's access level and the next navigation item's access level in the Auto-Fill sequence. If the user is authorized to see the content, it appears in the ViewApp. Otherwise, the Auto-Fill sequence continues until content is shown from an authorized navigation item or the last item in the Auto-Fill sequence is reached.
