Resolution

There is no direct/single license available that can disable the 'View Library' menu option from the Web Player.

The only way to hide the 'View Library' option on a web player is to disable the " Open from Library" license for the group that the end-users belong to.  [ 'TIBCO Spotfire Enterprise Player' > 'Open from Library' ]
