Hello,

I am trying to hide certain apps from the settings menu. I found one way which is: 
<delete id="project.res_config_settings_view_form" model="ir.ui.view"/>

This particular line with delete the entire menu of project from the settings. However, i'd prefer to hide over delete. Also, im not trying to xpath into a menu and hide certain settings. Im trying to hide the entire module settings like it was never there.

Hi Andrew,

You just need to set the active=False in the menu which will hide the menu without deleting it.

<record id="project.res_config_settings_view_form" model="ir.ui.view">
<field name="active">False</field>
</record?>

You sir, are a genius! Thank you! I could not find anything about this in the documentation. Thanks!

You are welcome! Please accept the answer if you think you issue is solved so that it will help other people for reference.

You are a genius Sudhir. However, i have another question. What if you want to make this app invisible in general settings for some users that belong to a particular group?

Princess: You can add the groups in the menu:

<xpath expr="//div[@id='my_app']" position="attributes">
<attribute name="groups">!my_security_group</groups>
</xpath>

With this code, the user of "my_security_group" group will not be able to see the menu.
