# Enable or Disable the Sidebar

The Find Sidebar is the menu that appears at the left-hand side of the user interface when a user clicks the icon at the top left of the page. This side bar appears only if you have configured Dashboards or Applications (see Find Dashboards and Configure Applications).

You can also optionally disable it so that it does not display for one or more user roles, even if there are configured Dashboards or Applications.

To enable or disable the sidebar

1. Go to the Find home directory.
2. Open `config.json` in a text editor.

3. Find the `uiCustomization` section, and the `options` subsection.

4. Add or modify the `enableSidebar` object. Set a user role to `false` to disable the sidebar, or `true` to enable it. For example:

       "uiCustomization": {
           "options": {
               "enableSidebar": {
                 "user": false,
                 "bi": true
               },
               "enableRelatedConcepts": {
                 "user": true,
                 "bi": false
               }
             },
