Is it possible to disable some of the pages/function for gitea? I don’t want user to go for the full user list, so we need to disable the Explore page/API function. Can it be done via config? Thanks

I realized I can do it with restricted user. Thanks

We achieved this with a localized CSS template for the users tab of the explore menu (`custom/templates/explore/users.tmpl`)

```auto
{{template "base/head" .}}
<div class="explore users">
        {{template "explore/navbar" .}}
        <div class="ui container">
                Users not viewable.
        </div>
</div>
{{template "base/footer" .}}

```

Result: The user tab still exists but it only renders “Users not viewable”.
