Qlik Sense : Hiding dev hub

jchoucq — Mon, 26 Jan 2026 18:19:17 GMT

Dear all,

is it possible to hide the Qlik Dev Hub link based on the user ?

In the security rule of the stream, the only action available is "Read". Nevertheless, the user can access to the qlik dev hub.

Best regards,

Johann

Hi Waqqas / Johann Choucq

Were you able to find a solution for hiding the dev hub dropdown?

Is there a way to go to source code of the html, javascript and css of it and erase it from there?

Thanks to mitaliajgaonkar‌ for helping find the solution. It involves editing the source code in the following way:

Navigate to where your Qlik Sense program files are, and find the file:

~\Qlik\Sense\Client\assets\hub\hub.js

Copy this file and save it somewhere else as a backup in case anything goes wrong. Then open the file and find the string tid="MenuBtn".

This string is in a <button> tag which you will need to delete as well as the <div> around the button. Once this has been removed you will no longer see the dropdown for Dev Hub, Help, and About on any account. Now, to get to the dev hub you just append "/dev-hub/" to the end of your url. Keep in mind that if you upgrade, you will have to redo this change.

I realize that even with hiding this button, the user can still type "/dev-hub/" at the end of the hub URL and have access to the dev hub anyway. Eventually I will need to figure out how to block access to this based on security rules or something.

At version 3.1.* you need to add the following code to the stylesheet at C:\Program Files\Qlik\Sense\Client\hub\hub.css

li[tid="globalmenu-devhub"] {

display: none;

}

But be aware that this only hides the buton. It's still available when using ~/dev-hub/ in your URL.

So therefore you need to block the URL by firewall for instance.

Or deface / redirect it by putting this in the meta part of the file at location C:\Program Files\Qlik\Sense\Client\dev-hub.html

Also make sure you set the security rules properly with read only on Extensions for instance.

There is no solution obtained yet to get the permanent fix for the Dev Hub.

If we perform the code changes, it will be applied for all users.

There should be a way to control the access to certain users.

Please let know if the Dev-Hub can be controlled through the Security Rules or through QMC

No this can not be controlled by security rules (yet?).

Therefore I suggest this workaround in order to de-activate the dev-hub the hard way.

Hello,

I have located the tid="MenuBtn" in the js file but it is not clear what I need to delete. Could you please show which line need to be deleted from begining to end? I am now on June 2018 release.

We are facing Same Issue, We have QAP server for anonymous user but users are able to open dev-hub and can views extensions? Is there any securer rules to disabled or hide dev-hub for anonymous user ?
