Disabling and securing gadgets in Episerver CMS 11 - Missing definition names

Hi all!

I'm looking to add security for the dashboard gadgets. I found this very useful guide on how to achieve this:

https://world.optimizely.com/documentation/developer-guides/archive/cms/user-interface/Configuring-the-dashboard/

<episerver.shell>
    <viewManager>
        <securedComponents>
            <add definitionName="EPiServer.Shell.UI.Controllers.VisitorGroupsStatisticsController" allowedRoles="None" />
        </securedComponents>
    </viewManager>
</episerver.shell>

The only problem is I'm not able to find the definitionName for the following Gadgets:

RSS Feed
Notes
External Links

Anyone know how I can find the full controller class names for these?

Thanks!

Not 100% sure, but:

RSS Feed -- EPiServer.Cms.Shell.UI.Controllers.RSSReaderController
Notes -- EPiServer.Cms.Shell.UI.Controllers.NotesController
External Links -- EPiServer.Cms.Shell.UI.Controllers.ExternalLinksController

And, if you're interested in hiding additional elements from some editors, this blog post might be very helpful: "Remove Episerver UI components for certain editors"
