Hi Alex,

You can check the following flow:

Change the IP addresses in the switch node and change the json code in the change nodes:

`{"group":{"open":["xxx_1"],"show":["xxx_2"],"hide":["xxx_3"]}}`

xxx is the name of the ui\_group, the 1-4 are the names of the ui\_tabs. Separate them with the underscore.

Now you can hide, show, open and/or collapse certain tabs matching the IP address of the PC, which connects to the dashboard via browser.
