Is anyone here using UIM's to create menus?

Lots of people do so quite successfully.

I have searched through
the IBM infocenter and have been unable to find any significant
documents on the subject.  I recently changed shops and we are
required to use UIM's to create menus, etc.

Any help would be appreciated.

One thing that I am specifically trying to do is restrict access to
certain objects and have been told that with UIM's it will remove the
menu item from displaying if the user does not authority to use that
object.

You need to do two things:

1) Define a suitable condition:

:cond     name=Bdspmsg
          expr='CHKOBJ("DSPMSG","*CMD","*USE")'.  

2) Reference the condition when defining the menu item:

:menui    option=20
          cond=Bdspmsg
          help='admin/dspmsg'
          action='CMD ?DSPMSG'.&msg(TXT1140).
