Is there a way to remove the hamburger menu, search, new and notification section or this row entirely, but put the login/log out option at the right hand side of the header?

Hi @elpinguino ,

It is only possible to remove the entire global navigation row, which can be done in site Settings - Interactions - Global Navigation. But this removes the "Sign In" option as well.

I'm keen to learn more about your use case for this - why would you like to remove the hamburger menu and search?

Thank you!

Emily

Hi @Emily_Nilson , The team has to use multiple ArcGIS Online logins depending on which Council or private company they are contracting into.

The team isn't also very tech savvy... as in I want to remove any extra things on the screen that they don't need. They don't need to access raw or base data, just the dashboards and experience builders with the pre-cooked nicely displayed filterable/action trigger data.

If someone clicks on the hamburger menu or search, they're going to go down a rabbit hole and get lost. I'm not concerned about them deleting anything or seeing the data, but it's just an extra thing that would be nice to hide in order to remove any confusion.

Hi @elpinguino , that is helpful context - thank you! I'll share this with the team for consideration.

Hi @Emily_Nilson! I relate a lot to @elpinguino's issue!

In my case, there's no hosted data in my organization's Enterprise (only from Postgree), so the other functions of the global navigator (like the search bar) can be misleading for some people, because it won't show any results. 

At the same time, it is very important for my Sites to have a login option. So it would be a very interesting feature to be able to choose which functions to present in the global navigator. 😊

I 100% agree with the other posters here. In our case, we are serving private web applications to our internal users (biologists, archaeologists, planners, project managers, etc.) so that they can view, filter, and edit project data and field data. I have the applications arranged by subject matter on pages and in galleries in a way that makes them easy to find. These users never need to download entire layers or see the entire list of applications available on the site, or really any of the other functionality available in that global navigation hamburger menu. In our environment, it's TMI and would just lead to lots of questions and help requests when people get lost and confused. However, they do need to log in because everything on the Hub site is private.

As a workaround, I recreated the URL of the login page and then added it as menu item in my header. It works, but figuring out the URL parameters wasn't easy. It would be great if inclusion of a sign in button were independent of the rest of the global navigation functionality. Ideally it would be in a hamburger menu in the header that we could also add other links to like we can in ArcGIS Dashboards.

Thanks!

Hi @Emily_Nilson! I also relate a lot to @elpinguino's issue and @arc_ticodex 's solution

I have non-tec c-suite "viewers" -all private data. with Hub basic. 

I would love a simple sign-in and also sign-out option with minimal settings access for security question and password-reset. 

I've tried switching global navigation off and direct access from the URL but would like a confirmed sign-out option.

it would be a very interesting feature to be able to choose which functions to present in the global navigator.

Same boat here. Don't want most of our users using the search and ending up in pages that they don't know, or worse, trying to make their own web maps and poking around in the data. We just want them to have access to the hub site and the apps listed on it.
