We have a client that is very protective of the financial data, and they want their users to not have access to the All Reports and Explore All options on the main page of the user profiles, is there a way to disable these?

Direct Removal Is Not Possible

Both "All Reports" and "Explore All" are part of system pages in Business Central.

These elements are controlled by the platform, and cannot be removed or hidden through standard customization or page extensions.

Workarounds You Can Consider

1. Restrict Access via Permissions

Even if users can see these options, permissions will prevent them from accessing sensitive reports or pages.

Ensure that permission sets are tightly configured to block access to financial data, reports, or sensitive pages.

2. Customize Role Centers

You can create a custom Role Center and assign it to users.

While this won’t remove the system-level "All Reports" or "Explore All", it can limit what’s shown on the main page.

Use a blank Role Center or minimal layout to reduce visibility of unwanted elements.

3. Disable Profile Defaults

For "All Reports", disabling “Use as default profile” removes it from the System Page of Role Explorer.

Disabling “Enabled” removes it from the navigation menu of the Role Center [1].

Suggested Next Steps

If your client is highly protective of financial data:

Audit all permission sets assigned to users.

Create a minimal Role Center with only essential tiles and actions.

Raise a product suggestion via aka.ms/bcideas to request more granular control over system UI elements.
