The answer is in the configuration documentation for actions. By default, all actions are possible, including new. To customize the possible actions, in config.actions in config/initilizers/rails_admin.rb, list all the actions you want to support, leaving out the ones you don’t want to support. For example, here is a config block that allows all of the default actions except for new:

# config/initilizers/rails_admin.rb
RailsAdmin.config do |config|
  config.actions do
    # root actions
    dashboard
    # collection actions 
    index
    # `new` is NOT allowed
    export
    history_index
    bulk_delete
    # member actions
    show
    edit
    delete
    history_show
    show_in_app
  end
end
