Hide Ribbon on SharePoint 2013 using CSS

Hi Guys,

I recently experienced the migration from SharePoint 2010 to 2013. I was earlier hiding Ribbon using the SPSecurityTrimmedControl and CSS. But in SP 2013 MS has divided whole ribbon in two section: s4-ribbonrow and suiteBar

Hiding the ribbon is as much as easier as it was in 2010 version. But here we just need to take care of above two mentioned sections. I have gone thorough some of the blogs where people are saying that we have change the html file(Seattle.html or oslo.html) and design manger will take care of creating master page for you (ref: Hide Ribbon).

But there is another traditional way of doing same, follow the given steps:

1) Open the master page file in the SharePoint designer.

2) Add the style tag to hide the ribbon for all the user:

#s4-ribbonrow, #suiteBar { display : none; }

3) Now we have to do some more changes so that at least system account can access the ribbon. Find out the <div id="s4-ribbonrow"> tag.

4) Insert the following code inside this div:

<SharePoint:SPSecurityTrimmedControl ID="SPSecurityTrimmedControl2" runat="server" PermissionsString="AddAndCustomizePages">

document.getElementById("s4-ribbonrow").style.display = "block";
document.getElementById("suiteBar").style.display = "block";

</SharePoint:SPSecurityTrimmedControl>

Note: Make sure before you copy and past above code. If you are getting any formatting errors after adding this code. Kindly delete all double quotes and add them again. 

5) Now save the master page and deploy or publish it to see the changes.

Happy SharePointing :)
