How to hide specific tab on Dashboard

[MohammadAmzad]

Hello community can anyone help me how to hide specific tab on dashboard which requires discovery

admin access and reports are not visible to ITIL users 

i want to hide the ServiceNow Discovery dashboards in below SS from ITIL users, since they do not have access to view the reports

Either approach will work — you can either duplicate the existing dashboard or create a new one exclusively for ITIL users. @MohammadAmzad

Hi @MohammadAmzad  Is your issue resolved?

As mentioned in my 1st response to your question you will have to create fresh dashboard.

2 Approaches

1) Either Duplicate and then delete those 2 tabs give correct sharing permissions (ITIL)

OR

2) create a fresh dashboard and exclude those 2 tabs and give correct sharing permissions

Hi @MohammadAmzad ,

Thanks for sharing the screenshot I see what you mean: your CMDB Dashboard has multiple tabs, and the ServiceNow Discovery tab shows “Access to this content denied based on report_view ACLs” for ITIL users. You want to hide this tab from ITIL users so they don’t even see it, rather than leaving it blank.

As per my understanding why this happens
* Tabs on a Performance Analytics / Dashboard are defined as widgets or tabs within the dashboard definition.
* Visibility of content inside the widget is controlled by ACLs (e.g., report_view).
* But the tab itself is not hidden unless you explicitly configure roles on the dashboard widgets/tabs.

Please appreciate the efforts of community contributors by marking appropriate response as Mark my Answer Helpful or Accept Solution this may help other community users to follow correct solution in future.
