User menu differences

Menus reflect the security access level of the user. Consequently, configuration menus will display differing
options based upon the parameters a par ticular user is allowed to change. Some differences include:

Limited users (non-Superusers) do not have access to Easy Setup.

All users have access to System Configuration, Quick Menus, and Quick View, but limited users have only
limited access to configuration elements in their descendant menus.

Configuration screen elements to which configuration access is forbidden are usually hidden.

The Quick Menus screen reflects the security access level of the user. Menus to which configuration
access is forbidden are hidden.
