hide elements of navigation bars in sharepoint site
Along with the content of my Sharepoint site, there are two vertical navigation bars in the left part of the window: one that contains Start page, My sites, My lists, and the other that contains Home, Documents, Site contents.
For both navigation bars I would like to:
- hide any of its elements/items
- conditionally hide any of the elements - for example, I would like and element to be visible for the OWNER of the site, but not for MEMBERS
What I could achieve so far was to hide the elements of one of the navigation bars (the one with Home and Documents), by clicking the Edit item at the bottom, and then individually removing items.
I still don't know how to hide the elements of the other navigation bar (My lists is of particular interest for me), or how to conditionally display these elements, by the user type.
The left most navigation (with My lists link) is called as a SharePoint app bar. Unfortunately, you cannot hide SharePoint app bar since March 31, 2023. There are some Microsoft unsupported ways to hide it but you should avoid doing it (check below link #2).

The second navigation is (Home, Documents, etc.) is called as a SharePoint site navigation. You can either move it top side below site title or completely hide it using SharePoint site navigation settings.

Also, you can make the SharePoint site navigation links visible conditionally using audience targeting. Check this Microsoft official documentation for more information about this: Target navigation, news, files, links, and web parts to specific audiences

Connect-PnPOnline -Url "https://<tenant>-admin.sharepoint.com/" -Interactive Set-PnPTenant -DisablePersonalListCreation $trueReplace <tenant> with your SharePoint tenant name.

- I really appreciate your answer. Now I will go through the above links, and I will come back with feedback.
Thanks once again !
- It's better if you change the view of the quick launch menu if you feel that's it's creating a conflict
with the global menu
Cog -> Change the look -> Navigation -> Horizontal
