Dear All,
I want to disable/hide management page from left side menu of Kibana portal .
Though Xpack security is not part of Basic License so is there any way to achieve same by any other means ?
Can we achieve same by editing source code of kibana ?

hi @satyaban,
you can do this in source code, but it would be a hack of course.
The code for the management plugin is here `src/legacy/core_plugins/kibana/public/management`. You could delete this folder, and clear up references to any files in this folder.
Alternatively, you could just add some css somewhere that hides the link. Something like
```auto
.kbnGlobalNavLink__anchor[href="http://localhost:5601/app/kibana#/management?_g=()"] {
display: none;
}
```
ymmv

hii,
Thanks for your quick response and I have made changes accordingly but not in management folder rather in common.style.css to hide all and able to achieve same.
Now I have below issues kindly help if possible
Due to some security limitation in our project we have to redirect out kibana base url to dashboards page directly.
For Example : Kibana URL is [http://10.40.41.42/kibana/](http://10.40.41.42/kibana/) when I will access it should be redirected to dashboard page [http://10.40.41.42/kibana/app/kibana#/dashboards?\_g=()](http://10.40.41.42/kibana/app/kibana#/dashboards?_g=())
basically I want to add kibana#/dashboards instead of kibana#/home (currently it is redirected to home page [http://10.40.41.42/kibana/app/kibana#/home](http://10.40.41.42/kibana/app/kibana#/home))
I am tried to searching many .js file in Kibana folder to change kibana#/home link to kibana#/dashboards but didn't succeed .
Kindly suggest how to navigate to dashboard when I will type kibana Base URL instead of Home page(Default).
Note : I have tried to redirect with apache Web server but due to "#" symbol inside kibana#/home it is unable to read same (# is fragment anchor tag only processes at client side )
