            Customer ThisCustomer = Customer.Current;
            if (AppLogic.AppConfig(string.Format("Compunix.Admin.LimitMenuByCustomerLevel.{0}", ThisCustomer.CustomerLevelID)).Trim().Length > 0)
            {
                mnuHorizontalNav.Items.Clear();
                List<MenuItem> temp = new List<MenuItem>();
                foreach (MenuItem i in items) { temp.Add(i); }
                List<MenuItem> menuItemsList = (new CompunixCommon.AdminMenuLimiter()).LimitMenuItemsByCustomer(temp);
                foreach (MenuItem item in menuItemsList)
                {
                    mnuHorizontalNav.Items.Add(item);
                }
            } 
            /* END COMPUNIX */

5) Save and upload.

6) Go to your site's Admin console and reset the cache.

Additional Configuration

When initially installed, the menu is not limited. To limit the menu, be sure you have Customer Levels setup in the admin and applied to the Admin customer logins.

To limit a specific Customer Level menu, create the following AppConfig Compunix.Admin.LimitMenuByCustomerLevel.#where # is the Customer Level ID.

Limiting the menu items is as easy as adding the names of the admin menu links into this AppConfig, separating each item with a comma. For example, if you would like to limit the customers/admins of Customer Level 1 to omit the admin Home and Help menu items, create an AppConfig called Compunix.Admin.LimitMenuByCustomerLevel.1 and set its value to Home,Help
