If I read the code correct, dashboards are now setup via DI. This means that you would have to register your own version of the dashboard (and remove the original) in order for you to change how it is setup.
Thanks for the swift reply, @Søren Gregersen. Now I get what you were saying in your original reply.
Wow, this is ridiculous on several levels! First, why are writers being shown an administrator's dashboard in the first place, necessitating my "hiding" it?! Second, in v7, all this took was:
Our users in the writer role have different Content start nodes; yet, the Redirect URL Management allows them to edit rules affecting pages outside of the content they should have access to.
Umbraco should not give global Redirect URL Management to restricted users.
Our content editors can barely do content editing (I'm constantly having to clean up their pages with copy/paste detritus, incorrect heading use, etc. even though they do receive training). They have no idea what redirects are and no interest in learning. Anything much beyond editing text, and they'd submit a ticket to our help desk and it would likely come to me.
Understand, these folks are, for example, court clerks or judges, some quite advanced in age. While a few are pretty savvy, some are still struggling just to use the Internet; some don't know what the word browser means, much less redirect. We went with Umbraco because one person cannot possibly maintain the content for 10 websites and thousands of pages for scores of courts, agencies, commissions, committees, and other organizations, while also developing new applications. And "just hire more people" isn't an option; not in a state agency. So we have to let them edit their own content. But for most, their understanding is extremely rudimentary and they are confused and some a little angered by that dashboard.
Hide "Redirect URL Management" from editors
Hi,
I would like to hide the Redirect URL Management tab from my clients. Any idea how to go about it in V8?
Thanks!
Hi,
If I read the code correct, dashboards are now setup via DI. This means that you would have to register your own version of the dashboard (and remove the original) in order for you to change how it is setup.
The dashboard is defined here: https://github.com/umbraco/Umbraco-CMS/blob/dev-v8/src/Umbraco.Web/Dashboards/RedirectUrlDashboard.cs
In your composer, you would then:
@Søren Gregersen, that would remove the dashboard for everyone, would it not? The OP needed to hide it from one user group: Editors.
I have the same problem as the OP.
I created an issue: https://github.com/umbraco/Umbraco-CMS/issues/7737
You remove the default, replace with your own version with the new permissions :-)
The my-version would be something like:
It would need to implement a new accesrule

Now, I have to go deep into code--to fix an Umbraco bug--with some hackaround of remove-it-and-it-add back? Ugh.
Will doing so affect our many existing URL redirects?
Managing urls is a content editor job :-)

Agree - this is also causing our site issues - see here on how to restrict this dashboard to certain user groups only (e.g. Admins only)
Agree.
