Hi,
Demos, as well as Layer Preview are currently available for everybody but Tools appear only after successful login. Do we want that users without an account can use some demos or tools also in the future? Obviously all tools which can modify data or configuration must require login. But SRS list, Reprojection console, and request builders should be safe even if they are left open.
Location of the tools in a menu is a separate thing, we have already WFS transactional demos which are visible for everybody but they do not do transactions without valid credentials. However, if a tool that we want to be open for everybody is dropped into Tools then we must make also the Tools menu item visible for all.

It could be argued that WPS and WCS request builder are tools more than demos. Other than that sounds good to me

Recently I had a chance to look at the tools page, and would like to take an opportunity to shuffle some of our content into an appropriate location.
I would like to consistently use:
a) navigation tree to represent configuration concepts - resources in the rest api
b) tools - automate or otherwise assist with configuration
c) demos - show how to use the OGC services
With that in mind:
Map Preview: move to navigation tree About & Status (technically it is a demo but we like it)
SRS List: move to tools
Reprojection console: move to tools
WPS request builder: remains in demos
WCS request builder: remain in demos
Importer: move to tools
Resource: move to navigation tree Data
Catalog Bulk Load Tool: remain in tools, see if there is any way we can hide them unless “Start” is being run. Really this should be renamed as “Duplicate”
