Editing Kmenu for all the users

Hello, I want to know if it's possible to edit the entries in kmenu for all the users.
I want to add some entries and I want everybody sees them.
Thank you very much.

RE: Editing Kmenu for all the users

Create a entry for your own user, locate the corresponding *.desktop file in ~/.local/share/applications and then put it in $KDEDIR/share/applications/kde .

Question: will running kmenuedit as root affect all users, or only the root user?

Remove (or move it to somewhere else) the corresponding *.desktop item in $KDEDIR/share/applications/kde.

Use KIOSK

Kiosk will allow you to edit the global menu and it will affect ALL users since the new global will rewrite all user menus when Kiosk saves it. So unless you eliminate the ability for users to edit their menus (which can also be done in kiosk) then the user menu can be changed after the rewrite.
