Disable the "Edit" button on OpenSearch Dashboard UI

[MachieLal]

Is your feature request related to a problem?
We have installed OpenSearch version 2.11, and we share the common OpenSearch Dashboards and Visualizations across multiple teams. Even with kibana_read_only role the user is able to make orientation and visualization changes to the dashboards which causes wasted rework efforts.

What solution would you like?
We would like to keep it non-editable from the UI and have a feature where the "Edit" buttons can be disabled from the Dashboard UI for specific roles.

What alternatives have you considered?
If the above requirement can be achieved by some other means, we would love to know.

[Triage] Hi @MachieLal, thanks for filing this issue. For some context please visit this comment from a previous issue: #2701 (comment).

Unfortunately, the evaluation of permissions prior to a request is not very feasible. This means that we cannot "disable" the button in advance since we are not able to determine whether a user has permissions or not to make an action until they actually try to execute that action. This is admittedly not the best... There is a potential fix for this with the workspace feature (opensearch-project/OpenSearch-Dashboards#5083) which you may be interested in but for the time being we are not able to address this request.

Going to close this issue since it is unfeasible right now, but please feel free to follow up with any questions you have.
