Hi Tanya/Megala, Can't we share the anonymous view with other tenants as a normal view? In that case if a particular user gets a waning as you said at the time of sharing, the user can create an anonymous view without those restricted gadgets and share the dashboard with other tenants. Then, those tenant users will be able to view the dashboards as explained in the above doc[1]. Just an opinion.
Also, I think hiding gadgets won't work because it will introduce unnecessary complications in re-arranging the template. If the restricted gadget is in the middle of the template we can't keep a blank space in the middle rather re-arrange it in a suitable way.
