To streamline the management of commands in the project, I implemented an interactive menu navigation system as an alternative to running individual management commands via python manage.py start. This menu provides an intuitive interface for navigating various functionality, enhancing user experience and efficiency.

Key Features of the Menu System

1. Permissions-Based Access Control
The menu dynamically displays options based on the employee's permissions. Only functions authorized for the logged-in user appear in the menu. For example, if an employee does not have permission to create new employee records, that option is hidden. This design reduces clutter and confusion, as employees see only the actions they are allowed to perform.

2. Login Redirection
If an employee attempts to access the menu without being logged in, they are redirected to the login view. This ensures that only authenticated users can access the menu options, maintaining security and role-based access control.

3. Visual Highlights with a Color Scheme
To make the menu user-friendly, a color scheme is used to highlight different functions and options. This color coding helps users quickly identify categories, actions, and other key menu items, creating a more accessible and visually appealing interface.

This menu system not only simplifies navigation but also strengthens access control, enhances security, and improves the user experience by keeping the interface tailored to each employee’s permissions.
