Folders can be disabled by the DataLens instance administrator (the datalens.admin role).

To disable folder navigation:

  1. In the left-hand panel, select Service settings.
  2. Select the Navigation tab.
  3. In the Disable folder navigation section, click Disable folder navigation.
  4. In the window that opens, you will see a list of the remaining objects in the folders, which you need to migrate to workbooks or delete before disabling the folders. If the list of objects is empty, you can disable navigation. To do this, click Disable.
