I would like to suggest the ability for a workspace Admin or Member (or Contributor) to hide certain reports in a workspace from the workspace Viewers, by providing a "Hide" checkbox in the report settings.


The most important use case for this is when we deploy paginated subreports that should not be run independently from the main paginated report, but need to be published in the same workspace as the main report. This is creating confusion amongst report consumers, so the subreport should be hidden while it can still be opened through the main report.


Another use case is when a (significant) production bug is found in a report, so that report consumers should not be using the report in production. The release schedule and traceability procedures do not allow us to remove the report from the workspace immediately, but we should be able to temporarily hide it from report consumers.
