Ability to turn off / hide the Research tab Merged

What is the challenge?

1) We have a wide audience at our organization using and accessing the internal view of Aha as reviewers. This includes our GTM team and engineering.

They are confused by the 'empty' research tabs, assuming no research is ongoing. This is not true (or at least not for all ideas), we use different tools to research and record the findings.

2) We trained users, and spend years manually cultivating related ideas to take into account when working on a feature or improvement into the 'Related' tab. Users expect to see those in the 'ideas' part of the research tab. ( see also https://big.ideas.aha.io/ideas/A-I-14926 for mockup of minimum solution)

3) Users are adding ideas in the 'research' tab. Those are not reflected in the 'related' tab.

What is the impact?

1) Bad reputation: our field teams assume no research is done

2) Related ideas being mapped in 2 areas, and being overlooked.

3) Research tab is confusing to our more fulltime Aha! users as well. We did not enable them on usage, and can not do so in the next 3 months. You can imagine we need to align with other teams such as UX research on what options we want to use.

Allow more control over the appearing of the 'Research' tab:

Per workspace, allow to define:

• Ideas tab on or off

• Which user types have access to the research tab
