Configure links
The links shown in your navigation bar can be configured in the navigation panel by clicking on 'Configure links'.

This will bring up a drawer from which you can specify the names of the links, the path and minimum user role to see the link.
The links can be external URLs, or they can be screen paths selectable from the dropdown menus.

The minimum user app role will ensure that only authorised users will see particular navigation links.
By default the minimum role is public.
