I am facing problems with interface customizations in the latest OBIEE release.
Is it possible to “hide” the Mobile, VA and BiPublisher options – marked red in the appendix.
(Privileges in Administration and roles in EM are configured – users can not access Mobile, BiPub however the buttons are still visible – OBI 11 did not display them afterwards…)
I am looking for a “clean” design.
Any help is much appreciated

Unfortunately up to and including 12.2.1.2 (the current version) the “Visual Analyzer” menu point will keep being rendered even if they permission has been removed from the application role(s) of the user.
Mobile and BIP disappear completely on the other hand.
So the question to be asked is: how did you configure your application roles and policies? Did you reuse vanilla ones? Then it may just be the case that some rights still persist due to ootb inheritance between roles and hence some rights stay even though you think you removed them.
