OFBiz was set up originally so that all application menu items were
visible, even if the user is logged out. Lately, some developers have
made changes so that only the login menu item is visible when a user is
logged out.
I don't know what the best practice is, or if one has been defined.
Maybe this is a good time to discuss it and add it to the developer
documentation.

Hi,
I was investigating on the reason why the applications menus have each one a
different behaviour regarding the items visibility for a logged/not logged
user.
I mean that when I am not logged in (and system wait for a valid login) some
but not all menu options are hidden, then logging in as admin all options
become visible.
At the moment the following menu items are hidden when the user is not
logged in:
Accounting: Transactions
Manufacturing: All items
Orders: Requests, Quotes, Order list, Find orders, Order entry, Returns,
Requirements, Order tasks
Pary: Create, Linkparty, Security
Project: Resources, Timesheet, Skilltime, Requestlist
The other applications have all items always enabled.
I think that all applications should work like the Manufacturing application
that do not show any option in the menu if the option is not available to
the user.
Do someone agree on this?
