SharePoint List Web Parts - New UX
Hello,
When I hide the new button, my original button is now gone - as you noted. But, the issue is that the new button is still there and won't go away!
^This is my list view within site contents after making the modification
^This is my list web part after making the modification
As you can see my original button is gone, but the "New Item" button has not disappeared.
Thank you for your assistance!
I am not sure what mechanism you are using to add data to this list. For example, if you are using a List Form or any other way for data entry, I would recommend not granting Contribute or Edit permissions on the list to users.
If users only have Read access to the list, the New Item button will not be visible, preventing them from adding items directly to the list. This helps ensure that data is submitted only through the intended form rather than directly through the list interface.

It depends on the list, of course.
For this list - I am using the list form, and all users have the ability to Create Items, but they can only edit the items they've created.
This suggestion that you're providing isn't feasible, but thank you.- virendrakJul 22, 2026Steel Contributor
Thanks for the clarification. In that case, I agree that my suggestion wouldn't fit your use case.
Since users need the ability to create items and edit only the items they've created, they will require permissions beyond Read access. As a result, the New Item option will remain available in the list interface and cannot be hidden through permissions alone.
