The Menu Restriction feature lets you control access to navigation menu items while still enforcing restrictions on the pages themselves. Users will see the menu items, but they can only access them if they have the right membership or permission.

• Restricted menu items remain visible in the navigation menu
• Clicking a restricted menu item will show a popup message instead of opening the page
• The page will still be restricted even if the user tries to access it directly via URL
