Figured it out.

goto ${username} || goto MENU

:fogUser
menu
item --gap -- ---------------- Welcome fogUser ----------------
item return        return to previous menu
item kav        Kaspersky Antivirus
choose --default return target && goto ${target}

:fogTech
item --gap -- ---------------- Welcome fogTech ----------------
item return        return to previous menu
item Clonezilla        Clonezilla ISO
item UBCD        Ultimate Boot CD
item Hirens        Hiren's Boot CD
item kav        Kaspersky Antivirus
choose --default return target && goto ${target}

:MENU
menu
item --gap -- ---------------- iPXE boot menu ----------------
item return        return to previous menu
choose --default return target && goto ${target}

Then just define the functions below the menu. fogTech and fogUser being different users that the menu accounts for and MENU being the default menu.

This was made apparent after looking at the advanced.php code presented here https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Advanced_Boot_Menu_Configuration_options

Access to this menu can be granted without granting that user rights to the website by clicking the “Mobile/Quick Image Access Only?” toggle when creating the user.

Not sure if this has been resolved or not, but this site was a great help to me in setting up my Clonezilla PXE boot; http://clonezilla.org/livepxe.php .

you’ll need initrd.img, vmlinuz, and filesystem.squashfs from the .iso or .zip of clonezilla.

Here’s what I ended up with…

:Clonezilla
initrd http://<fogIP>/fog/clonezilla/initrd.img
chain http://<fogIP>/fog/clonezilla/vmlinuz boot=live config noswap nolocales edd=on nomodeset ocs_live_run="ocs-live-general" ocs_live_extra_param="" keyboard-layouts="" ocs_live_batch="no" locales="" vga=788 nosplash noprompt fetch=http://<fogIP>/fog/clonezilla/filesystem.squashfs
||
goto MENU

and that has me booting to Clonezilla just as if I picked the default menu booting from usb.

This might be a tie in with this feature request https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/4408/security-for-fog-users but I’m wondering if a guy can present different ipxe menus in the advanced menu section based on what user is logged in? This user has access to this tool, but should have access to this tool… i.e. an IT deployment tech may need access to an SCCM deployment tool, but a IT Security tech may need access to a recovery tool to which the average IT tech shouldn’t.
