Title: Hide items from menu(s) / disable animation
Post by: fatalfuuu on March 27, 2026, 11:08:42 AM
Is it possible to hide entries from the webui menus?

I note an old post from 2016 which doesn't seem to work now - is it supposed to or no longer possible? https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=2955.0


Also - officially or unofficially - any way to disable menu animations?

You can create a user with very specific permissions.

But your best bet is this PR. https://github.com/opnsense/core/pull/10033

As a separate proposal, I was also contemplating adding a toggle setting that could disable automatic menu collapsing generally. I think the scroll would probably still need to happen though.

In my opinion, the biggest problem with the menu is that you can "middle click" to nothing. If you have not reached the last level of the menu with the actual settings...

Not sure how to optimally fix this. Thats why I like your PR a lot.

Disabling automatic menu collapsing in my mind would quickly lead to a monstrosity.

I agree - I would never use the toggle xD

Not sure I understand what you mean by this?
