The security features in NXT could definitely be more robust... while it is wonderful to hide panels by user, we would like to lock/permanently hide certain panels for users. I do not want a volunteer to have access to wealth screening info, for example.
You can hide the wealth screening information for volunteers by removing the rights for that group to see ratings data. Put them in a group that doesn't have that access, and they should be permanently gone. In general, we leverage the group rights from database view in security to keep a consistent experience from the database view to NXT web view. Hopefully that works for you? Thanks!
