Besides some tweaking here and there with the async processing, image pre-loading and so forth, there is a new feature to turn on or off the recently added security feature. The current security feature uses the user’s security privileges to determine if a button is displayed and an entity button will only display if they have the Read access right to the specific Entity. Turning off the security feature prevents the Quick View Menu from making a number of web requests which may improve load performance.

This is an example of the Quick View Menu Solution Configuration page. Simply click the Security button to toggle security on or off.

The Quick View Menu will now only show an entity related button to a user if they have read privileges to the entity. This is the first phase of security to be applied to the quick view menu, in the next phase it will incorporate sitemap specific privileges which are defined within the Sitemap itself.
This security is not applied to non entity specific Sitemap sub area items, only items that have Entity defined as a Sitemap sub area attribute.

The Quick View Menu helps you navigate to any location in Dynamics CRM quickly and seamlessly by taking your existing Sitemap and presenting it in an easy to navigate interface.
