The Permission Menu allows you to configure category permissions for user-defined groups in run-time.
This feature alleviates the need to go into the userview builder to manually adjust for every category.

After setting up the Permission Menu, remember to configure all the respective userview categories as such in Figure 3 and Figure 4 above.
