How to Hide links and pages in SharePoint Online?

Question

I have a home page that contains icons for different links now I want to make each  icon to be visible to only users who have permissions on it.....

and also I want to make some pages to only be visible to users who have permissions on them.

Answer 1

What kind of icon it is? Is it a web part or left navigation? 

If it is web part, then you edit page > navigate to web part properties>Advanced >Target Audiences

In Target Audiences you can select a group of the user who can see this particular web part. So based on permission you can handle to show or hide web part and it's functionality.</label>

And If it is left navigation then navigate to site settings > Look and Feel > Navigation > under navigation there is a section called "Structural Navigation: Editing and Sorting", here you can see multiple links. To show any particular link with any group, you can edit that link and set Audience for same.

Hi Nhlanhla,

How did you add the links into the page?

You can use a list to store the links and set different permissions on item level. Then add the list web part into the home page. If a user doesn't have permissions on an item, he/she will not see the item.

Also, for a page, if a user doesn't have permissions on it, she/he also will not see the page. So you can grant different users different permissions on pages.

If I have misunderstood your meaning, please feel free to reply.

Thanks,

Wendy

Hi Kuldeep ,

I have same question. I use in quick link web parts in modern UI but there are no target audience setting.
I attached image below. I want to grant permission to each icon links. If User A has no permission to red triangle icon, then it should doesn't appear to User A. Only 4 icon will appear to User A.

This is very useful for when we use hub site in large organization structure. 

Hope your kind attention to this matter. 

Thanks & regards
