Hi steve200‌,

You can't but there are some "workarounds", check => Security Rule to restrict Dev Hub for users

I hope this helps

May be this:

We can achieve it by adding below lines to hub.css file to remove just Dev-Hub, this will not remove help and about links.

li[tid="globalmenu-devhub"] {

    display: none;

}

where do you add this text beginning off the file or end of it. I tried end of it and it didn't work. Can you please show exactly where you make this entry.

Hi,

If you want to keep the Dev-hub but just hide the extension editor you can do this with some CSS. 

1) Hide the list of visualizations(easy..):

.visualizations {
display: none;
}

2) Hide the button on the left hand side (the second button, a bit tricky):

li.tool-list:nth-of-type(2n) {
display: none;
}

If the list is changed in future releases, you might need to change the 2 to something else.

3) Hide the visualizations filter option at the top (a bit complicated..):

.qw .sub-toolbar .header-toolbar[q-title-translation="Devhub.VisualizationExtensions"] {
display: none;
}

Make a backup copy of the dev-hub CSS file (called dev-hub.1.10.0.css in my Qlik Sense version) and add these three rules at the end of the original.

 

You should know a few things:

- this just hides the alternatives from the screen. If a user knows the URL to the extension editor he can still open it.

- class names and HTML structure might change in that case this will break, specially since the second rule above is based on the order of the tools.

 

Good luck!
