i think adding `console.enabled: false` in the kibana.yml should do the trick ---

that should hide dev tools. i am not aware of anything that would hide timelion, but you could probably completely remove the plugin under src/core\_plugins/timelion ---

you can also try `timelion.enabled: false` ---

> [@ppisljar](#): > > timelion.enabled: false Hi I set like below in kibana.yml #kibana hiding menu **console.enabled:false** **timelion.enabled:false** But it is not hiding anything I got log like this log [10:36:59.255] [warning][config] Settings for "42" were not applied, check for spelling errors and ensure the plugin is loaded. log [10:36:59.259] [warning][config] Settings for "43" were not applied, check for spelling errors and ensure the plugin is loaded. Any mistake is there Is there any other way to work around? ---

you might be missing a space there: ```auto console.enabled: false timelion.enabled: false ``` ---

management, visualize, discover and dashboard are not plugins, they are part of kibana core and currently there is no easy way to hide them. ---

Is it possible to get "management" to not show for users who don't have access? Right now my customers are able to click it but then slapped in the face with the "you don't have access" screen. I'd rather just not have the link available for them. My hack brain says to ping a service on load, see if it gets an "unauthorized" response and jquery style hide the menu option. Darn hack brain, stop thinking crazy... ---
