I want to be able to remove the option to show hidden tables in Lightdash

See original GitHub issue

Description

Right now, we have the option to show specific models as the “main” models in Lightdash. But, you can click on show hidden tables and see all of the dbt models in Lightdash.

this is great, but sometimes, we don’t want some specific tables appearing in Lightdash at all (e.g. PII data)

I want to be able to hide the show hidden models option from the app.

I’d imagine it would live here:

There would be a toggle under table selection, show entire project...etc. which says Option to show hidden tables. This has a toggle for on and off (by default, this would be set to on)
Only project admins would have access to this toggle

Yea!

We have ~10 curated models that we want users to have access to, those models are tagged with in_lightdash. And then added to Lightdash.

All other models are either irrelevant for end-users or confidential (like PII).
