Hello guys,

I was developing a plugin to show/hide apps. It mainly works, but some apps don't dissapear from side bar, like Machine Learning ('ml'). This is my "pseudo" code:

In server side:  
`_.forEach(server.getUiNavLinks(), (UiNavLink) => UiNavLink._hidden=true); // This will hide all UiNavLinks`

In hacks:  
`chrome.getNavLinkById('ml').hidden = true;`

Hi koyarsan

Before you continue that way, just wanted to ask if you aware that you can enable/disable features based on user privileges with Kibana spaces:

Best,
