I am doing an upgrade from 3.6 to v5. In 3.6 menu, there is a code that check if user has right to view report. If no, it will make report menu item invisible.

How can I do that in Version 5?

    There is no way to program anything into the menusuite. The only solution would be to remove the "all" reports from the "ALL" role and give back individual report permissions, then the menusuite would hide the unauthorized object number. I have resorted to checking security inside the report itself based on role assignment or custom flags in the user setup table.

    You'll need to create a new menu item and hide all of the standard menu items for that user.

    The navigation pane is designed so you can set each user to see only areas that specific job function. So this means you will not need to do any code development on main menus.
