How to hide Add new option in Rails Admin

Question

I am customizing Rails Admin : https://github.com/sferik/rails_admin , i need to disable/hide \"Add new\" option for some model.

To have multiple models, you must put each model in single quotes. For example, consider the following configuration:

config.actions do
  dashboard
  index do
    except ['Address']
  end
  new do
    except ['Address', 'Employee', 'Setting']
  end
  export
  show
  edit do
    except ['Employee']
  end
end

This means that:

• Addresses are not included on the navbar on the left
• You cannot add a new address employee or setting with the "add new" button
• There is no pencil icon in the index view for Employees for editing.
• If you had a User model you could see it in the navbar, edit it, and add a new one on the index page.
• You can export every model, but not bulk delete them.
