Disable Compendium for players?

Before I add this as a suggestion I first want to see if anyone knows of a way to restrict access to the SRD Compendium for players? I've looked everywhere through the forums without any luck, as well as through the options via Roll20. Perhaps I'm overlooking something. It comes in handy when the players can look up gear or rules themselves, but I find it odd that they can access monster stats, spells, class abilities, etc. I know many DM's openly allow their players full access to the rulebooks, which I have nothing against, but to keep some mystery in my game I would prefer not to allow my players to know everything about their enemies and leveling path.  So if possible, I would prefer to disable it for my players. If that's not possible, at least allow me to restrict access to monsters.  Thanks for listening! Currently playing D&D 5E

Blocking access to the compendium is not going to do anything to stop them from looking at monster stats. They can just go to wizards.com and download the SRD there. There's absolutely no way to prevent your players from looking at monster stats unless you make the monsters yourself and don't share them with anyone.

Here's what Riley D. of the Roll20 Dev Team has said about this : We've had a couple of people bring up this topic. The truth is that the players can just as easily keep a Google tab open and do a search for any Monster that you may be using if it's clearly labeled or they identify it "in-game". We're considering adding an option so that you can "filter" Categories from the Compendium that players don't have access to, but I'm not sure that it's anything more than security theatre :-)

Well, security theatre it may be, but security theatre still works. I suppose a player could just excuse taking a peak at the content by telling themselves "It's part of the page which is available to me", as opposed to having to consciously go searching for material they know they shouldn't be looking up.  Regardless, you're absolutely right about the content being available should they decide to go looking on their own, and you've answered my question very clearly. Thank you for your time!

That's why it's called "security theater" instead of "security". <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Security_theater" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Security_theater</a>
