Tab visibility for the tab packaged in a managed package

Question

I want to add a tab in my managed package and I want it to be available to system administrator only. I am selecting these settings while creating tab -

Apply a different tab visibility for each profile

'Tab Hidden' for all profiles, except system administrator for which it is 'Default On'

In the next step, I have selected to include the tab only in my app and unselected other apps. I have also checked 'Append tab to users' existing personal customizations'

Now when I add this tab to my managed package, it is still visible to all the non system administrator users as well. How can I make it available to only System administrator and add it to admin's tabs in my app(only) automatically.

Answer 1

Not 'an answer', but definitely this is kind of known issue. Please check this Idea.

It definitely suggests "UNDER POINT THRESHOLD", so there needs to be more votes to ensure this is taken up by Salesforce.

Answer 2

While installing the manage package in destination org, install it only for System Administrator.

Installing for All users, will automatically set the tab access to 'Default on' in the profiles which is why all the users get access to the tab.
