  12  Description
  13  -----------
  14  This module allows you to restrict access of menu items per roles. It depends on the
  15  drupal core menu.module - just activate both modules and edit a menu item as usual.
  16  There will be a new fieldset that allows you to restrict access by role.

  19  Installation
  20  ------------
  21  Unfortunately you need to patch the drupal file includes/menu.inc. Use the the patch
  22  provided with the module. If you don't know how to patch, you can just insert the three
  23  additional lines manually - but remove the leading plus.
  24  
  25  Then copy the module's whole directory in your drupal modules directory and activate it.

  28  Installation
  29  ------------
  30  Up to Drupal 6.9, you need to apply a patch to a menu file from Drupal core.
  31  This bug has now been fixed in the core (6.10+).
  32  
  33  o Patch drupal-6.6-menu-submit.patch
  34    (same patch for 6.7, 6.8 and 6.9)
  35  
  36    Fix a problem with the menu/add feature (that does not otherwise give
  37    you the mlid and thus renders the submit function totally useless.)

  39    See http://drupal.org/node/326210 for more information

  41  It is smart to patch the menu file before installing the Menu per Role
  42  so it works immediately. Although you can patch at any time. It just
  43  won't work 100% properly until then.
  44  
  45  How to use it
  46  -------------
  47  Just activate the menu and the menu_per_role modules and edit a menu item as usual at
  48  /admin/build/menu. There will be a fieldset that allows you to restrict access by role.
  49  
  50  If you don't check any roles the default access permissions will be kept. Otherwise the
  51  module will additionally restrict access to the chosen user roles.
