Users who have partial administrative permissions can view only the list of options that are specifically granted to them. Conversely, a user without granted permission to the build rules option is unable to view those options. The figure that follows, for example, shows a view of the menu items that are available to an admin user who lacks privileges to the build rules. Refer to User Administrative Role Permissions for more info.
