Disable File, Edit, Tools, etc Options from Toolbar in Web Player

We are looking for a configuration option that  would hide the the menus File, Edit, Data, Visualization, View, Tools, Help, User from the Spotfire Web Player Toolbar for consumer users. 

We can disable the toolbar as a whole, but instead of completely removing it we need the search options, collaboration, filters to be available and not the the menu items which are creating confusion among the users.

In Spotfire X we have 3 vertical dots on the top left corner of the toolbar that hides these menus. Can there be an option to either configure it to hide the menus by default, or to remove the Show/Hide the menu items for Consumer users.
Implemented in 11.6

    In TIBCO Spotfire 11.6, it is now possible to hide all the menus from the toolbar as a configuration option when showing a Spotfire analysis in a web page using the JavaScript API or parameterized URL.

    I was able to hide the menubar, the three dots, and the undo/redo icons in the top left corner with this:

    $(document).ready(function() {

    if(!document.readyFlag) {

    $('.sfx_button-enabled_355').hide(); //three dots

    $('.sfx_menu-container_344').hide(); //menu

    $('.sfx_separator_353').hide(); //vertical lines

    $('.sfx_button_356').hide(); //undo-redo icons

    document.readyFlag=true;

    }

    })

    Kinda ugly, but it seems to be working for me.

    I can't believe that this isn't at least configurable for each individual report. In Version 7, there was a simple checkbox in Document Properties that let you turn off the EDIT button in web player and we always turned it OFF. Now, if you don't want your users to see the menubar, you have to hide the FILTER and BOOKMARK icons? Who thought that was a good idea? Frustrating!

    This would be very very useful for us, since we don't want our clients to see things they are not able to do such as "Analysis Information" which is very dangerous because it shows internal strucure to our Clients.
    We cannot migrate to this version without being able to hide the menu bar !
