Kibana : Disable home page

[jguay]

Describe the feature:
Clicking on top-left icon Home shows page with sections Add data to Kibana, Visualize and Explore Data and Manage and Administer the Elastic Stack.
It is not currently possible to disable the Home page
Describe a specific use case for the feature:
Using kibana.defaultAppId or defaultroute (available in advanced settings per space in 7.5), it is already possible to set default starting page after logging in kibana space to discover.

Request for a new option to disable the Home page from feature control so clicking on Top-Left Home icon redirects to the default application (or the first application for the space if there is no defaultroute / defaultAppId)

can we disable home page in 7.8 and what setting will be required for that

[ryankeairns]

As far as I am aware, there is no way currently to disable the home page. The feature requested by this issue is not currently on the Core UI roadmap, but we will continue to track feedback here.

As a side note for instances with Spaces enabled, you can set a different log in (start) page for each Space, however this will not override the home page button itself.

Also, interested in this feature. Any updates or thoughts?

[ryankeairns]

There have been no recent discussions for adding this capability, but we'll continue to monitor feedback.

Relatedly, the home page was recently redesigned in 7.10, and we have additional plans that will make the content more dynamic and personalized. Further, we added an explicit link to display a different page upon log in, for those using the Spaces feature, that mitigates this need to a degree.

Thanks for the feedback and interest.

I understand that disabling the home page is not on the roadmap.

However, there are parts of the UI which are pointless and annoying in certain situations.
In the case of a readonly user who has rights only for discovering indexes, what is the point of

• "Add data" on Home page: nothing can be done there
• "Manage" on Home page: it says "Application Not Found" anyway
• The whole "Ingest your data" section on Home page
• All the above applies also to Analytics / Overview

The best would be if these were hidden automatically based on user rights.
If it is problematic, there should be a way to hide them manually.
