# SAIF.Presentation.Web.Controls.V2.Menu business rules

No business rules (in the SAIF BOF sense of validation/enforcement logic with a statement/trigger/enforcement/outcome tied to persisted business data) are defined or enforced within this library.

All button-visibility and access-control decisions consumed by `SAIFMenu` and `SAIFMenuTop` originate from externally-supplied `clsMenuAuthorizedItem`/`clsMenuAuthorizedItemCollection` state, owned by [SAIF.Business.Menu](../saif-business-menu/overview.md), outside this library's scope. This library only reflects that externally-computed state in its rendering; it does not compute or enforce authorization itself.

The library does contain conditional UI-shaping logic (e.g., default accordion expansion state, hiding empty categories, disabled-icon rendering, and the externally-gated "Change Password" favorite link), but this is presentational behavior rather than a business rule. It is documented as behavior/edge-case notes on the relevant operation pages:
- [Render side navigation menu](operations/render-side-navigation-menu.md)
- [Render top toolbar menu](operations/render-top-toolbar-menu.md)
