Description of problem:

When disabling the notebook controller via patching the OdhDashboardConfig resource, eg. notebookController.enabled: false, the UI still allows a user in the Data Science Project view to spawn a notebook in the rhods-notebook namespace.

Prerequisites (if any, like setup, operators/versions):

N/A

Steps to Reproduce

set notebookController.enabled: false

navigate to the DS project view

click the "launch jupyter" button to the right of the "Create data science project" button

Actual results:

A user can spawn a notebook in the "projectless" launcher

Expected results:

A user can't view the projectless launcher at all, they are restricted to opening workbenches in their allowed projects.

Reproducibility (Always/Intermittent/Only Once):

Always

Build Details:

N/A

Workaround:

A potential workaround would be to set a quota on the rhods-notebooks namespace that functionally blocks spawns, but that leaves behind a lot of vestigal UI.
