How to remove some items in the left menu of Bitrix24 and restrict access?

Question

Bitrix24

Good afternoon!

Tell me where to dig? How to remove items from the left menu? Not just hide them when they slide down under the "More" section, but so that the user cannot return these sections to himself.
For example, there is a list of approved menu items that we need:


The rest should be unavailable.

I know how to restrict the rights to these sections, but I didn’t find how to remove them from the menu at all.

Answer 1

There are no mechanisms that would allow this to be done without breaking updates.
The most optimal way we found: direct modification of .top.menu_ext.php in the root of the project.
Go to the end of the file, find:
[CODE]
$aMenuLinks = $arMenuB24;
[/CODE]
Check `$arMenuB24` before it and modify according to your point.
I recommend leaving a loophole and not hiding anything for the admin.
