Thank you all.

I try to deploy pgadmin4 on my company but I want to manage the connections 
(server in pgadmin) the users can create.
So, I've found the line 84 of 
pgadmin/dashboard/templates/dashboard/welcome_dashboard.html to disable the 
link :
<a href="#" onclick="pgAdmin.Dashboard.add_new_server()">
pgAdmin saves server list per user.
You may need to keep that in mind.

Yes I’m aware of that


It seems like a reasonable request to me - for example, to stop students adding 
random servers to a shared instance of pgAdmin that they're only supposed to be 
using for coursework.
Agreed.

My need is different : I deploy pgadmin4 in an ansible role which deploy the 
following (inside the [ ] ) :
User  ---->  [ Apache --->  pgadmin ----> pgbouncer ]  ----->  postgresql 
backend
And I have a script for adding a server for a specific user which create a pool 
and add the server tuple in the sqlite3 db.
The benefit is :
- I can serialize the connections (some users open many, many tabs)
- users who do not close their connections are not a problem (thanks to the 
pgbouncer timeout)
- I can reserve some connection to the production chain
- I can monitor the pool

Since yesterday, I’ve found a (ugly) solution : in the 
./pgadmin/static/js/generated/browser_nodes.js, I deactivate the Server action.

But the pretty way should be to create a dedicated profile (in addition of 
administrator and user).
