Hi  
Is it possible to restrict access to a custom screen through a button click only (like it is for standard screen which allows to add a record for example).  
Thanks for your answer.

Yes. Actions have conditions that you can use to restrict access.

For basic actions it’s at the bottom left of configuration. In custom action you can set at top of branch.

That applies to anything that can initiate an action… buttons, collections, rich text, to name a few.

I think that I have not explained my issue very well. I have created a custom screen.  
I wish that this screen is not be reachable by theTab, only by a button.  
When I hide the Tab, the screen is not reachable by the button too.
