Yes, it is possible to edit the order of the items or hide some of them per session and device natively without installing anything. You just need to go to to your account (clicking on your avatar and search for the Change the order and hide items from the sidebar section). The same is also possible if you long press the Home Assistant sidebar title.
This plugin is just if you want to go further and make multiple customisations without losing the changes if you log out or change the device.
You can rename the dashboards natively but it will rename the dashboards for everyone. If you want to do it per user / device basis, it is not possible natively, you would need to use the custom plugin.
Hi @daniel1to,
That is also right, if you mean the default dashboard it cannot be edited. You would need to create other dashboards for that or use the custom plugin.

Hi @Sauerkraut,
The customisation should work in your companion App, I have mine working in an Android device. Sometimes the companion App is very stubborn with the caching. Try to clean cache to see if it helps.
Regards
Explain what you mean by default: it is possible by default (as in built into core), but stored browser side: so it is device specific and gets lost when you clear the cache. So it is not the default for all users or all devices.
The custom component here offers more options, as the settings are stored differently. It also provides more options.
I don’t think it is possible at the moment to achieve that by default. You can remove or change the order of items for your user/session using core, but you cannot add new items only for you. To add items using core, it is possible to use the panel_custom integration but this will add the sidebar items to all the users.
If you know a way of adding items for a specific user using core, please, let me know to add it to the documentation.
What is the current status of setting up Users from out Admin login?
I refer to setting rights for:
Disabling the Sidebar completely or
Menu elements on the sidebar.
After reading some posts, I found this chain about “custom-sidebar-v2”
Before this, there was a post about the “Kiosk” plug-in.
But it seems these options are discontinued.
Best would be to have this functionality emnedded into the HA release.
Any update on this? Thanks!
For “Disabling Menu elements on the sidebar” you can use this plugin. (You can do it also in Home Assistant directly, but it is not per user/device basis in a permanent way, you would need to login in the device with the specific user that you want and do the changes there, but if you log out all the changes will be lost)
Option 1: Is this a solution where the admin can disable the sidebar per not admin users?
Option 2: This is not a real solution.
In reality an app installation is with saying “go to App store, search for home asssitant and get it installed. then type as url: http://homeassistant.local:8123/” Install should go that easy.
You are not taking control over the users phone to disable. and certainly not per instance he/she like to launch the app.
I there any plan on gettign an intergrated solution? Such the admin user can centrally administer the user rights for the non-admin users (per user)?

Yes, you can do it (among other things)
Option 2: This is not a real solution.

I think that you didn’t read the part in which I mentioned “For Disabling Menu elements on the sidebar you can use this plugin”.
What I mentioned after that is what is builtin in Home Assistant (and that is why this plugin exists, if that would be implemented natively in Home Assistant then this plugin would not have much sense to exist).
But you need to be aware of something, do not use any JavaScript plugin as a security measure, it is enough to avoid spouse/kids/family to interact whit elements that you don’t want, but it is not an RBAC solution, so if you want something secure comig from the back-end you need to request it to Home Assistant devs to implement it natively.

You should ask this to the Home Assistant developers themselves. There were discusions about this in the past but I think that sidebar is not a priority at the moment.
