Main menu for registered users

Hi there,
I need to use a different main menu for registered users. I am using Joomla 3, and I can find the module mod_mainmenu In Creativity template. I already tried to duplicate the template and use the new user menu at the template configuration, but when users are registered always is the subpages menu on it. Please help me to understand where I can configure the main menu in creativity.

If I understood You correctly - there are two main menus in creativity quickinstall template - first is on homepage and is called Main Menu, and second that works with all subpages - Main Menu - subpages.
Depending on which You would like to edit - chose correct from MEnu Manager.

Thank you for your answer Cyberek. I need to use a third user-menu to show for registered users instead of main menu and subpages-main menu. I already configure the new user menu and its items at the menu manager with permissions just for registered users. The problem is I can't find in creativity the module position others menus are using, to use the same for the new user menu.

Answering my own question if somebody need something similar.
1. Create the new menu for example "User Menu", and its items at menu manager. If you need a menu for registered users is important to restrict the access of menu items to Registered.
2. Duplicate "Creativity - Subpages" or "Creativity - Frontpage" template at template manager and rename the new for example "Creativity - Users"
3. At "Template Manager: Edit Style" in choose menu in Menu Tab, choose the menu you create in the first step in this case "User Menu"
4. In Template Preview you can see your new menu working and get their links, to use it redirecting your users once they are logged.

The only thing I might add is - our templates have build in menu system, and it uses a module position that is designed just for the menu - so You cant access it with use of module manager.
But there is a way to enable it in module manager - it just requires a little bit of php editing knowledge.
