[ORD CE 2021 R1] Customizing the ribbon for multiple users

Question

I've made custom tools for running macros from my ribbon. The other users in my workspace also need these tools. Is there a configuration file that can be modified to accomplish this or do the users have to create their own tools with the same settings?

Folks: 
 
 We have a custom GUI stored under G:\MICROSTATION\OPENROADS_DESIGNER_2022\Configuration\Organization-Civil\_Civil Default Standards - Imperial\Dgnlib\GUI\Custom.dgnlib (where G:\ is our network drive, "MICROSTATION\OPENROADS_DESIGNER_2022" is our custom network location, and "Custom.dgnlib" is the custom GUI). Stored at this location allows all users to access- but not modify- our custom menus. The standard Bentley configuration already has this path for such resources. If one has access to the default "_Civil Default Standards- Imperial.rsc, one can see the parsing of this directory at "MS_GUIDGNLIBLIST > $(CIVIL_ORGANIZATION_STANDARDS)Dgnlib/GUI/*.dgnlib (Location of GUI Customization seeds). 
 Best Regards,

just have it loaded in your workspace and use the "Customize Ribbon" command to edit it (while you have something else opened). Depending how it is deployed, you may just need to copy your local dgnlib to the workspace after you edit the ribbon.
