		Currently, after logon a user has to click on a series on menu before reaching their final destination. This is inefficient and bandwidth wasting. Imagine if there is a customer in front of user the ya. 
 
1. Allow the ability to display top level menu items of choice by user/role immediately after logon. Currently, only subsystem menu appears. 
 
Example: 
Instead of doing: 
------------------- 
Prototype-> Example -> Contacts 
Prototype-> Classroom 
Billing -> Invoice 
 
Allow: 
------- 
Customer Representative to: 
Contacts | Invoice 
 
Classroom User to: 
Rooms | Teachers | Subjects etc... 
 
2. Allow the ability to display what is beneath a top level menu. Suggestion: when user points at a top level menu item, provide the ability to list the submenus and the submenu of submenus.

		If "product" only exists on the "prototype" menu, but access to "prototype" is not granted, then you cannot get to "product" by way of "prototype". This is by design, and is perfectly logical. 
 
Either of the following options are available: 
- If the user only has access to the contents of the "product" menu, then set "product" to the starting task for that user's role.
 - Put the "product" menu on another menu to which the user does have access.
