Role-Based Graphical User Interfaces
First Claim
1. A method for providing a role-based Graphical User Interface (GUI), the method comprising:
- receiving information associated with an application user;
determining a role associated with the application user;
analyzing the role to determine at least one first application element permitted to the application user and at least one second application element restricted from the application user; and
loading the at least one first application element, wherein loading the at least one first application element comprises,displaying at least one permissible GUI element associated with the at least one first application element permitted to the user, andrestricting at least one restricted GUI element associated with the at least one second application element restricted from the user.

Abstract
A role-based Graphical User Interface (GUI) may be provided. First, information associated with an application user may be received. A role associated the application user may be then determined. The role may then be analyzed to determine which application elements are permitted to the user and which application elements are restricted from the application user. Next, the permitted application elements may be loaded with permissible GUI elements visible and restricted GUI elements hidden. The permissible GUI elements may be associated with the application elements permitted to the application user, while the restricted GUI elements may be associated with the application elements restricted from the user.
