Disable Report and Dashboard Menu content editors

We had a requirement where Report and Dashboard menus were needed only for specific roles/users Or Admins — but not for editors.

Below is default view for editors where  you can see these menus:

But required view is: 

1.  To achieve above, we implemented a  custom Interceptor class that wraps another IMenuProvider and overrides the authorization logic as below.

using EPiServer.Shell.Navigation;
namespace alloy_example.Customization.Menus;

public class MenuProviderInterceptor : IMenuProvider
{
    private readonly IMenuProvider _menu;

    public MenuProviderInterceptor(IMenuProvider menu)
    {
        _menu = menu;
    }

    public IEnumerable<MenuItem> GetMenuItems()
    {
        var menuItems = _menu.GetMenuItems().ToList();
        menuItems.ForEach(item =>
        {           
            item.AuthorizationPolicy = "episerver:cmsadmin";
        });
        return menuItems;
    }
}

 2. we need to hook this interceptor only for specific providers — like ReportsMenuProvider or DashboardMenuProvider based on requirement.

services.Intercept<IMenuProvider>(interceptorFactory);

private static IMenuProvider interceptorFactory(IServiceProvider provider1, IMenuProvider provider2)
 {
     var types = new[] { typeof(ReportsMenuProvider), typeof(DashboardMenuProvider) };
     return types.Any(t => t.Equals(provider2.GetType())) ? new MenuProviderInterceptor(provider2) : provider2;
 }

This way, only ReportsMenuProvider and DashboardMenuProvider are affected — all other menus remain untouched. Hope this helps someone!
