With the Sidebar Customizer you define how the side navigation looks for each role. This gives every team member a clean navigation tailored to their tasks – and lets you decide whether they may adjust it further themselves.

Overview

Configuration is done per role. Use the role dropdown at the top to select the role you are editing. All settings on the page then apply to that role.

Customization Permissions

Two toggles control the fundamental behavior of the selected role:
  • Allow sidebar customization — users of this role may adjust their own sidebar navigation. When disabled, all users of the role see only the default sidebar configured here.
  • Show Business plan pages in navigation — sets the default for the role, applied as long as a user has not set their own preference.

Default Sidebar for [Role]

In the main area you configure the default sidebar for the selected role. This configuration applies to all users of the role who have not made their own adjustments.

Controls

  • Add group — creates a new navigation group.
  • Drag — drag an entire row to reorder entries or nest them.
  • Double-click — renames an entry.
  • Trash — removes an entry.
  • Reset — discards your changes and restores the original state.
  • Save — applies the configuration to the role.
On the right, a live preview reflects your changes instantly.

Sub-entries & Default Sub-pages

Entries can contain sub-entries to build a multi-level navigation. Examples:
  • Events → Outbound Links, Scroll Depth
  • User Behavior → Activity History, Consent Segmentation, Sitemap
  • UTM → AI Visibility, Conversions
In addition, an entry can have a defined default sub-page – the page opened when clicking the parent entry (e.g. Events → Events Overview).

Relationship with Permissions

The Sidebar Customizer is closely tied to two permissions from Roles & Permissions:
  • “Manage navigation sidebars” (admin permission) — allows setting the role defaults here.
  • “Customize sidebar” (capability) — allows end users to adjust their own sidebar (corresponds to the Allow sidebar customization toggle).
Managing (admin) means: defining the default navigation for an entire role. Customizing (capability) means: changing your own personal sidebar. See the “manage” vs. “use” distinction on the Roles & Permissions page.
