Remove Tools option from navigation window

[pratik_b]

We have an requirement where few users shouldn't have access to Tools option from the navigation window, can anyone please tell me at which location of the file we can give the necessary permission?

Hi @pratik_b,

You can give necessary permissions at below path 

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

Found similar thread here please check: https://experienceleaguecommunities.adobe.com/t5/adobe-experience-manager/hide-tools-icon-on-aem-sta...

Hope that helps!

Tools icon comes from below path:

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

you can provide ACLs to restrict access to this path /libs/granite/ui/content/shell/start/content/cq/items/tabs/items/tools - sothat only users that are members of group that have permission to read above path will see Tools option in the start screen.
