Hello,  
I have created a role that has access to a specific space, in that space, I want to give access to the canvas feature only.  
When I login with that user, I can see the management feature (gear icon).  
I followed [this discussion](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/hide-kibana-management-tab-for-some-users/202687), and applied `kibana_dashboard_only_user`, but it is not giving me the desired outcome.

How can achieve what I am after?  
Specific space, and show the canvas feature only (No dashboards).  
Not sure it is possible according to [this GitHub thread](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/hide-management-app-on-kibana-7-2-x/188680).  
Kibana version 7.6.2

Thanks!

Hi @AClerk,  
unfortunately, it's impossible to hide management feature. If you give +1 to this issue, it'll be prioritised sooner for development: [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/35965](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/35965)

Hi @AClerk , you have to create a new role with access only to your desired spaces and than go to advanced settings in management tab and go to Dashboards only roles and put kibana\_dashboard\_only\_user,your\_newly\_created\_role

it works on 7.4.0  
hope it helps 🙂

Hi @haythem  
I do not want to give users access to dashboards.  
So it does not work.  
Thanks
