Hi Romain,

Disabling the console (web UI) is easy once it becomes part of the
polaris-server.

To clarify, the web UI is a static web resource, it doesn't execute web-UI
code in Quarkus.
The UI uses the same authentication and authorization mechanisms that any
REST client uses; it is just a UI on top of that.

Hope this helps,

Robert
