Keep users out of the SharePoint list

Hello,

I am curious if there is a way to keep users from meddling in the underlying SharePoint Online List?

When users use the Site search feature, many times it takes right to the base list. I am trying to keep them out of that so they cannot rummage around without the benefits of the Nitro UI.

Secondly, I can hide lists using PowerShell but I believe that will also hide them from Nitro Studio.

Right now, I am using a workflow to update each list item with unique permissions. It gets vary tedious. Also, some data shouldn't be seen by just anyone, therefore, I use the Nitro form to hide this content but if someone gets to the underlying list they can create their own view and see everything.

What do other's do?

Obfuscation is no security but you could exclude the base list from being indexed by search. Remove the base list from navigation e.g. quick launch. But a clued up user will always find it if they have the permissions to at least read it.
