Just want to make sure I got it right, where is the view file for the left-hand side of the admin screen in the backend? In other words, the dashboard options, like manage, catalog, people, marketing, reports etc...

Thanks

There is no view file for the left side navigation menu. We are generating the menu HTML from code.
Please look into this section of code in

1- Website\Areas\Admin\Views\Shared\_Layout.cshtml

Code:
<!-- Navigation -->
@Html.Action("Navigation", "Dashboard")


2- Website\Areas\Admin\Controllers\DashboardController.cs

Search for

Code:
public ActionResult Navigation()

Please open the file \Website\App_Data\adminmenu.xml

roles="System,Admin,Junior Admin,Manage Catalog,Manage Orders"
E.g
Code:

<menuItem title="Manage" icon="fa fa-tasks" roles="System,Admin,Junior Admin,Manage Catalog,Manage Orders" description="The Management menu is your main work area, you will be able to manage your daily activities here.">

Again, thank you for your quick reply.

I am going to assume that by adding and removing values in the "roles=" I can manipulate the menu structure?
I believe this is correct.

That being said, instead of modifying the original file, is there a way that this file can be overridden by including it in a theme?

My last question would be, if I were to create a new role, example "ArsOrderManager", I can add it here, is this a correct statement?

I understand that there will be other issues with the "ArsOrderManager" role being added to the backend.

I welcome your feedback as this is extremely important to us.

Many thanks for your quick reply

This is not possible in the current version. You can take a backup of the file and edit the original file to achieve your requirements.

Yes, As far as backend implementation is correct, you can add this in the XML file.

That is great news, one last concern. In the admin area when you click manage, and then you click orders, it displays a grid. A user is allowed to check mark an order and then using the update drop-down button, they have various options. What would be the best way eliminate or disable, the delete and export options?

Again many thanks

You can remove the options from UI. Please follow the steps

1- Open file Website\Areas\Admin\Views\Orders\_ListOrders.cshtml
2- Search for

Code:
gridActions.Add(new GridAction("EXPORT", "Export selected"));
gridActions.Add(new GridAction("DELETE", "Delete selected"));


3- Comment out these lines or remove these lines. Or you can add logic to show/hide the options depending on the user role.
