Hide tools icon on aem/start.html

[AEMLearner-1989]

Hi , 

I would like to hide the tools icon from aem/start.html and show the tools icon to administrator group. I am able to hide all the operations via granite:rendercondition but still icon is displaying on the screen.

Any inputs?

Hi @AEMLearner-1989 ,

Tools/Hammer Icon is coming from below path.

/libs/granite/ui/content/shell/start/content/cq/items/tabs/items/tools

But this is grey shaded (granite:internalArea). So I don't think we can make a change for this.

Hi @AEMLearner-1989 you can use ACLs (Access Control Lists) to restrict access to below path /libs/granite/ui/content/shell/start/content/cq/items/tabs/items/tools - so only users that are members of group that have permission to read above path will see Tools option in the start screen.

You can find more information about ACLs under https://experienceleague.adobe.com/docs/experience-manager-65/administering/security/security.html?l...

Hi @AEMLearner-1989 you can remove the jcr:read permission from the below path "/libs/granite/ui/content/shell/globalnav/cq/items/tabs/items/tools" and tools option won't show.
