Hide discover section for a user group

[Arno van Hemert]

I created a usergroup for read access to one single space. this usergroup is for a specific group of users. As the users are external from our organization I want to hide the Discover section only for this group. I read an article about hiding the section for al users however I want this to be done for a single group. Is that possible?

The article:

I'm afraid that doc is an all-or-nothing change.  There's no code in the core of Confluence that enables such a hide function - you would need to write something that replicates the functions of the gadget and is group-aware.

That's also what I want to do. Question is which code do I need to use

I would download the code for Confluence and look at the add-on stuff - the dashboards are made up of (mostly) discrete add-ons which you could compile independently and add them to your confluence as replacements.
