Hi there!

**Versions** (relevant - OpenSearch/Dashboard/Server OS/Browser):  
I’m using the 2.13.0 version of Opensearch

**Describe the issue** :  
I would like to hide the “Edit” button within the dashboards to read only users. I found an old issue ([Disable the "Edit" button on OpenSearch Dashboard UI · Issue #3960 · opensearch-project/security · GitHub](https://github.com/opensearch-project/security/issues/3960)) but I think it’s not resolved.

When a read-only user click on Edit, he can change the dashboard and when he finally click on “Save”, he has a permission issue (which makes perfectly sense)

Instead of this behaviour, would it be possible to hide the Edit button?

Best regards,
