Making a Customized Tab Available to Visibility Administration
Making a customized action available to visibility administration is essentially the same procedure as making an out of the box action available. A tab, however, cannot be managed by container administrators (configuring role-based visibility). Therefore you can only make a customized tab available to site and organization administrators for configuring visibility profiles. This means you can add a <uic> element for the tab only to the <global> section of roleaccessprefs.xml. For example, assume that you have already created a customized tab, and have an associated <MyTab>actions.xml file. You can add the tab to the list for profile-based visibility administration as follows:
1. Add a new uic element to roleaccessprefs.xml under the <global> section with a unique name, for example, CUSTOMIZED_TAB.
<uic name=”CUSTOMIZED_TAB” order=”190” enabled=”true” defaultAll=”true”/>
2. Associate the appropriate actions in action.xml with the UIComponent.
3. Add a new entry to roleAccessResource.rbInfo with a constant that is the same as the uic name. The value is what will be displayed in the profile actions UI.
40.value=View Customized Tab
40.constant=CUSTOMIZED_TAB

4. Restart the servlet engine and the MethodServer.
