I do not need this function at this time furthermore, it uses one line in the side menu.
Is there any way to remove this completely???
Thanks!

Long press the title of the side menu.
Hit the cross on the items you want to remove.
Click the 'Done’button at the top of the menu.

I use HA via web browser, and for long press nothing happens…

Let me guess… Safari?

Works in Chrome and Firefox.

The other way is to enable the edit mode via your profile:

Sorry, but this is not a solution, rather a workaround.
Hiding the mediabrowser from the sidebar is stored only on the browser / app you do it in, and it isn’t even persisted if you clear your cookies.
I don’t want a mediabrowser, no mather what client connects, because I have no media players connected to home assistant.

Fortunately it was solution enough for the person who asked.

If you want to be able to disable it completely I suggest you go here.

You made me curious :slight_smile: :grinning:
In what config file you mean, exactly?
Thanks

In your configuration.yaml

But if you use default_config you might need to change it

Is there a way to only allow certain users access to the media browser?

Would like to know too

Would like to know three

HA doesn’t expose a per user or admin/non-admin capability to limit media browser access, which isn’t cool in my situation: multiple members of my household have mobile HA access, and Frigate records baby cam video that is exposed through its media browser integration. The recordings should not be accessible to everyone with a logon, but I am not aware of any method to limit access in 2021.12 … anyone with a user logon has unrestricted access to all media

I use Custom Sidebar V2 to add and/or hide items in sidebar.

I had a similar problem with everybody having access to all the cameras, which is not what I wanted, and I solved it by configuring that in Unifi protect
