How to disable or hide the core ACL resources in Magento 2

Question

How to disable or hide the core module ACL resources in magento 2 with the custom module. I have tried the following syntax and it does not work:

<resource id="Magento_Backend::content" remove="true">

Answer 1

You can create a custom module for that and use a before plugin for \Magento\Integration\Helper\Data::mapResources().
Let's name the module StackExchange_Acl.
You will need these files:

app/code/StackExchange/Acl/registration.php - the registration file

<?php
\Magento\Framework\Component\ComponentRegistrar::register(
    \Magento\Framework\Component\ComponentRegistrar::MODULE,
    'StackExchange_Acl',
    __DIR__
);

app/code/StackExchange/Acl/etc/module.xml - module file

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:Module/etc/module.xsd">
    <module name="StackExchange_Acl" setup_version="1.0.0" />
</config>

app/code/StackExchange/acl/etc/di.xml - di admin file to declare your plugin

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:ObjectManager/etc/config.xsd">
    <type name="Magento\Integration\Helper\Data">
        <plugin name="acl-intergration-data" type="StackExchange\Acl\Plugin\Integration\Data" sortOrder="100" />
    </type>
</config>

app/code/StackExchange/Acl/Plugin/Integration/Data.php - the plugin

<?php
namespace StackExchange\Acl\Plugin\Integration;

class Data
{
    public function beforeMapResources(\Magento\Integration\Helper\Data $helper, array $resources)
    {
        $restricted = $this->getRestrictedIds();
        foreach ($resources as $key => $resource) {
            if (in_array($resource['id'], $restricted)) {
                unset($resources[$key]);
            }
        }
        return [$resources];
    }
    //list in this method all the ids of the acl's you don't want to show
    //if you don't want to had-code them you can read them from a config file - but you have to build that yourself.
    protected function getRestrictedIds()
    {
        return ['Magento_Sales::sales', 'Magento_Backend::dashboard'];
    }
}

run php bin/magento setup:upgrade and you are done.
