I've searched around and haven't found a solution for this yet. Would it be possible to add a setting to the UI that allows the update module to check for updates, but hide the message it displays in the admin area when core or modules have security updates?

Please point me in the right direction if I'm missing something.

I'm looking for this as well. Surely there must be some permission that lets you hide this message for non-admin authenticated users?

@Freddie: These messages are only displayed on admin pages. You've got something broken on your site if "non-admin authenticated users" are seeing these messages at all.

That said, this request is duplicate: #332796: Add permissions to the update.module to hide warnings

The Disable Messages module in #3 doesn't work for this because the Administrator role has a locked default permission of "Exclude from message filtering". The module is focused on customizing messages for the end user (i.e. Anonymous, editor roles, etc.)

Adding this feature was abandoned four years ago. If anyone is capable and interested in pursuing, see #332796: Add permissions to the update.module to hide warnings

If you want to stop the "available updates" emails and the update alert messaging then simply disable the update manager module from http://yourwebsite.com/admin/modules
