I'm using Kibana ver 7.6.  
I'd like to disable Customize time range in visualizations of a dashboard.  
Is it possible to do that?

It's not possible. The time range will be shown unless the index pattern has a time field set when created. So you could create a new index pattern that covers the same indices (for example "metricbeat\* instead of metricbeat-\*) without the timefield set and use that index pattern for the visualizations on that dashboard.
