Hide Move To/Copy To buttons -Modern Experience

Question

I would like to know if it is possible to hide the copy to/move to buttons from the "Edit" permission level in the show actions menu and the ribbon menu SharePoint Online - Communication site.

If it is possible could you please provide an example of how it can be done?

Any help will be highly appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

Since "Edit" permission gives privilege to copy and move, I believe it's not possible to override that behavior.

Though it's not a standard approach, one option could be to inject css with extension and hide those elements.

FYI, below article says, if you uncheck "Prevent users from running custom script" Copy To/Move will not be visible(I haven't tried). But this might disrupt other features.

You can use the git repo from below mentioned article. In that code, in oninit method, you need to add additional condition, to add css file only if current user is in required role\group.

You can easily set this to directly grant the user "View Only" permission, hence those two options will disappear, since those are "edit" options and users with view only does not have that.
