Sidenav configuration and AuthorizationPolicies

Universal Dashboard Universal Dashboard Help
2

I use the code below to build my navigation dynamically based on Authorization and group memberships. The trade off is that Get-UdAuthorization takes a few seconds to run. So the navigation pane will be empty in a few seconds immediately following a refresh/page load.

I opened an enhancement issue on the speed, or lack thereof yesterday.

$Navigation = New-UDSideNav -Endpoint {
    $Policies = Get-UDAuthorizationPolicy
    New-UDSideNavItem -Text "Home" -PageName "Home" -Icon home
    New-UDSideNavItem -Text "Consultants Dashboard" -PageName "Consultants Dashboard" -Icon hourglass_half
    New-UDSideNavItem -Text "Departments" -PageName "Departments" -Icon sitemap
    New-UDSideNavItem -Text "Employees Dashboard" -PageName "Employees Dashboard" -Icon User
    New-UDSideNavItem -Text "Blue Collars" -PageName "BlueCollars" -Icon User
    if ($Policies -contains 'Manager'){
        New-UDSideNavItem -Divider
        New-UDSideNavItem -Text " Manager ->" -Icon sitemap -Children {
            New-UDSideNavItem -Text "Your Department" -PageName "Manager" -Icon User
        }
    }
    if ($Policies -contains 'AdminCollection'){
        New-UDSideNavItem -Divider
        New-UDSideNavItem -Text " Administration ->" -Icon tools -Children {
            if ($Policies -contains 'DepartmentsAdmin'){
                New-UDSideNavItem -Text "Administer Departments" -PageName "Admin - Departments" -Icon sitemap
            }
            if ($Policies -contains 'BlueCollarsAdmin'){
                New-UDSideNavItem -Text "Administer Blue Collars" -PageName "Admin - Blue Collars" -Icon users
            }
            if ($Policies -contains 'EmployeesAdmin'){
                New-UDSideNavItem -Text "Administer Employees" -PageName "Admin - Employees" -Icon users
            }
        }
    }
    if ($Policies -contains 'LogCollection'){
        New-UDSideNavItem -Divider
        New-UDSideNavItem -Text " Logs ->" -Icon list -Children {
            if ($Policies -contains 'LogViewerAll'){
                New-UDSideNavItem -Text "Log Viewer - ALL" -PageName "LogViewer - ALL" -Icon list
            }
            if ($Policies -contains 'LogViewerAllDetailed'){
                New-UDSideNavItem -Text "Log Viewer - ALL Detailed" -PageName "LogViewer - ALLDetailed" -Icon list
            }
        }
    }
}
