Toolbar Overview

<contextmenu>
<item name="Editing" value="False" />
<item name="Format" value="False" />
</contextmenu>
<toolbars>
<item type="image" name="Bold" />
<item type="image" name="Italic"/>
</toolbars>
</configuration>

You can change the layout of the toolbars using the following methods:

2. Load the different configuration file dynamically for the different roles/users using Editor.AutoConfigure property.

3. Create/load a custom toolbar configuration file.

5. Put the toolbar items needed to be disabled into this Editor.DisableItemList string. Example DisableItemList="Save, Bold, Delete"
