In this lesson, let's look at simple ways to hide action buttons from the Filament table.

Restrict Create/Delete on Users

Let's imagine we have a User Management section, but we can't create a new user (they register themselves) or delete the existing one (for history archive reasons). The only thing we can do is edit the user's data.

So, I've generated a resource:

php artisan make:filament-resource User

And added a few columns to the form/table:

app/Filament/Resources/UserResource.php:

class UserResource extends Resource
{
    public static function form(Form $form): Form
    {
        return $form
            ->schema([
                Forms\Components\TextInput::make('name'), 
                Forms\Components\TextInput::make('email') 
                    ->email(), 
            ]);
    }
 
    public static function table(Table $table): Table
    {
        return $table
            ->columns([
                Tables\Columns\TextColumn::make('name'), 
                Tables\Columns\TextColumn::make('email'), 
                Tables\Columns\TextColumn::make('created_at') 
                    ->dateTime(), 
            ])
            ->actions([
                Tables\Actions\EditAction::make(),
            ])
            ->bulkActions([
                Tables\Actions\BulkActionGroup::make([
                    Tables\Actions\DeleteBulkAction::make(),
                ]),
            ])
            ->emptyStateActions([
                Tables\Actions\CreateAction::make(),
            ]);
    }
 
    public static function getPages(): array
    {
        return [
            'index' => Pages\ListUsers::route('/'),
            'create' => Pages\CreateUser::route('/create'),
            'edit' => Pages\EditUser::route('/{record}/edit'),
        ];
    }
}

Visually it looks like this:

Now, let's remove the ability to Add and Delete users.

Restrict Adding New Records

To hide the Create form and all links to it, we need to make four changes:

Step 1. Resource method getPages(): delete the create page.

return [
    'index' => Pages\ListUsers::route('/'),
    'create' => Pages\CreateUser::route('/create'), 
    'edit' => Pages\EditUser::route('/{record}/edit'),
];

Step 2. In the Resource Table, remove the...
