Too bad this is necessary. I can’t quite understand why low hanging fruits like this aren’t yet implemented with so many users asking for it.
Permissions are such an important feature and basics like this could be an easy start.
Your solution works for me though. Thank you for sharing. 
Btw: History and logbook can still be viewed for the entities a user has access to via a dashboard when clicking on the details of an entity, but at least the query time frame is limited to 24h mostly.
It already helps me to hide logbook and map for plain users.

Another +1 here. I went to try and do this today and couldn’t believe this wasn’t a built in feature. I want to completely restrict sidebar access for one user.

can’t believe this still isn’t implemented 
I really wish I could give access to my HA instance to different people with different permissions, e.g.:
- gardeners - only outdoor gate control
- pool guy - gate + pool cover and water monitoring
- cleaning lady - gate + garage + alarm
- …

I want to give my neighbor access to solar and weather station information but nothing else. As of to today he can still access all data through the history and logbook dashboard!

This is “Working as Intended”. No reasonable person would give access to their weather data, but want to withhold their GPS location, open/closed status of their toilet seat, or the vibration sensor under your matress. /s

This is quite funny that nobody from developers don’t see it as a security risk. I was aware of this flaw but wasn’t much paying attention to it but one day my ex-girlfriend showed me that the threat is much more dangerous than i thought.
Guessing it was Girlfriend at the time… lol. Quite the salient example.
Alright. Another 2 months have passed w/o any news?
Well, this doesn’t solve the security issue, but at least the UI issue.
If you don’t mind doing it on each client computer, simply click and hold the “Home Assistant” title in the left bar for 3-4 seconds. That changes the mode so you can move or hide items in the left bar. There are a few limitations, but most can be hidden!
Note that the user can re-enable them or see them if they log in from another client.
This doesn’t really help. As soon as you changed the homeassistant server some of these changes are gone (e.g. the starting dashboard) and you have to re-adjust them.
can’t believe this is not getting any more traction…
Any updates on this? This is really a major problem, and renders HA useless for so many applications, where you could give selective access to people (children, elderly people, gardener, cleaning, elderly care etc.).
If we can have admin only for all other dashboards it really is not understandable why “Overview”, “Logbook”, “Energy”, “History” etc. can’t be made admin-only!
…even better would be user specific right per Dashboard of course, but that as well has been asked hundreds of times in this forum without any improvement.
Is anyone working on this at all? Unfortunately I’m no developer, so I can’t help.
Lol don’t hold your breath, it’s clearly not an important feature. However in more important news I’m sure they will soon announce how 2025 is going to be Year of the AI Image Generation or some other whiz bang feature that’s way more important. /s
Devs, please work on this. It’s really my only complaint about HASS. I’m pretty easy to please.

A small glimmer of hope. Hopefully they make good progress on this. About F,********* time.
"Next priority: Improve privacy in user, guest, and public access
The inability to fine-tune access to Home Assistant by guests or other members of the family has been a pain point requested by many of our users. We want to investigate ways to mitigate this while improving the privacy of the household. Our research on what privacy means to users will hopefully bring more clarity to this before we start working on it."
