Need enhancements or modifications in i ACS Session Manager

We want different options available for different level of users in I ACS. We want to limit certain options in i ACS.

IBM i Access Client Solutions - Session Manager
acsbundle file.


Use Case:

1) We need to be able to create a configuration that hides the iACS main menu from the user but still keeps
the jar file active in windows.

2) We need to be able to preconfigure a .hod session for the desktop that windows will be able to execute
to start a 5250 session.

3) We need to understand why some options in the main menu will or sometimes do not display even though they
are not being excluded in the AcsConfig.properties file. i.e Database (catagory) - SQL options.

    The items you are requesting are already supported. Please see the following sections in the GettingStarted document available in the product's Documentation folder:
    1. For hiding certain features, see section 9.5 Customized Packages
    2. For starting a 5250 session using a .hod file that will be recognized by Windows, see section 9.2 File Associations
    3. The variations you are seeing with which features are being displayed sounds like you are running different versions of the product. You can check the version being used by selecting Help->About from the main GUI.

    If you have other specific questions about configuring the product, please open a PMR and work with our Service team.
