How to hide the action button in backoffice based on user roles?

How can I remove a button action in backoffice according to the user? I was able to disable the button by adding a condition in the canPerform method like this 

public boolean canPerform(final ActionContext<String> ctx)
    {
      final UserModel currentUser = userService.getCurrentUser();
      final boolean isUserMemberOfGroup = this.userService.isMemberOfGroup(currentUser,"group_name");
      return isUserMemberOfGroup;
    }

But I want to hide the button instead of making it disable.

I hope you already have a custom backoffice extension, if not then follow this tutorial to create one.

Now, in yourcustombackoffice-backoffice-config.xml you can declare listviewactions component for your itemtype with those actions which you want to allow to the user/group. Then you need to assign that user's role/group to the principal attribute.

For example, there are two backoffice roles "mainRole" and "otherRole". "mainRole" role has assigned to X user and "otherRole" role to Y user. Now using below backoffice config, X user can only see the Create button and Y user can only see Delete button. 

<contexttype="Media" component="listviewactions" principal="mainRole" module="hideActionB">
