Hiding links for users without access
Hi, The feature you are looking for is called security trimming, and you are correct in that if you want to make use of this then you will need to enable the publishing feature. So it's a bit of a trade off i'm afraid. You can read more about the options here - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/office365/enterprise/navigation-options-for-sharepoint-online
Thanks for the info. I am also wondering, along with CindyZ why you would not suggest the Publishing option. I am hesitant to enable it, but I may be missing something if I don't.
I cannot speak for jcgonzalezmartin, but my own personal feeling is that the publishing features have always been available with the classic SP sites in mind as opposed to the modern ones. Initially, the publishing features were made available in modern sites with a view to migrating older classic sites into a modern site in a sort of coexistence. They were never really meant for modern sites though, and modern sites have way more options to look professional out of the box without having to rely on the publishing features.
I also feel that (personal opinion again), that as long as users cannot access content they don't have permissions for, then all is good. Security trimming for me is a nice to have, not really a make or break feature though.
PeterRisingReally appreciate your taking the time to explain!
