...

  2. Click Create New Menu.

  3. In Label, give your menu a name. Note that this won't be displayed anywhere as it's just a name for internal use.

Adding Access Options to a Menu or Menu Item

By default, each item you add to a section menu will inherit the role permissions set for the menu. However, you can configure different access to individual menu items if required.
