We are trying to give user specific access to kibana features. For example: only the admin can see and use sidebar options like dashboard, visualization and timelion. Developer and Business unit roles should not be able to see these options bcoz we dont want them to create new dashboards. In kibana 5.4.0, is there a way to hide sidebar options (if not user-wise then for everyone)?? I referred [How to hide some menus in Kibana - #7 by PrabakarKaruppasamy](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/how-to-hide-some-menus-in-kibana/80460/7) and tried > console.enabled: false to hide dev tools, but it only results in 'No data found' page. cant we hide the link altogether or at least show a 'No permissions' page ? Also can we 'add' new custom options in sidebar ? ---
