Seems in Our Kibana v.8.19 that is hard to avoid having the Stack Management Application showing up in various Spaces for selected Users having multiple Roles Assigned.

They seems to always get Index Management and Transform options under the Stack Management App. How to avoid/disable/hide the Stack Management App menu option altogether?

TIA

As mentioned in the docs for [Role management using Kibana | Elastic Docs](https://www.elastic.co/docs/deploy-manage/users-roles/cluster-or-deployment-auth/kibana-role-management) :  
Cluster privileges grant access to monitoring and management features in Elasticsearch. They **also enable [Stack Management](https://www.elastic.co/docs/deploy-manage) capabilities** in Kibana.

Refer to [cluster privileges](https://www.elastic.co/docs/reference/elasticsearch/security-privileges#privileges-list-cluster) for a complete description of available options.

Right, our role had monitor cluster privilliges, removing this unecessary privillige disables/removes all options under Mangement App Menu point, though the Menu point label Management App still pointlessly shows up 😉
