  • Hi dara0024 

     

    this navigation entry is dependent on Site permission. A user with read-only permission can't see it. It's not possible with default settings to hide this for users with more permissions to the Site.

    To hide the Edit button in SharePoint, set user permissions to Read-Only via Site Settings > Site Permissions or apply custom CSS. For more SharePoint tips, visit polyestergames.com.
