I want to remove the “Delete” action controls of some of the elements in the datagrid component.

How can I do that ?

 ![DELETEBUTTON](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/cumulocity/original/3X/5/6/56d42628ea828eb4cd84fa2120d52b1641890961.png)

```auto
<c8y-data-grid
        [columns]="GroupColumns"
        [pagination]="GroupPagination"
        [actionControls]="groupActionControls" // actioncontol is valid for the entire datagrid.But I just want to remove some of them
        [serverSideDataCallback]="$any(fetchGroups)"
        [title]="'Groups' | translate"
        [refresh]="refreshGroups"
        class="col-xs-12 no-gutter d-block m-t-24"
        (onConfigChange)="onGroupGridConfigChange($event)"
    >

```

The `ActionControl` interface provides the `showIf` property, which can be used to define for which entry you want to have the action displayed:

```auto
/**
     * Determines if the action should be shown for given item (if not defined, the action will be shown always).
     * @param item The item for which the action is supposed to be performed.
     */
    showIf?: ((item: Row) => boolean) | Function;

```
