Dashboard Permissions

Dashboard permissions enable control over who can view, edit, and administrate dashboards.

Overview

There are three types of authorizations:

View	Allows visualization and interaction with dashboard components such as widgets, variables, and time selectors.
Edit	Enables modification, addition, or removal of any dashboard component, including widgets and variables.
Administrate	Provides privileges to delete dashboards or modify ownership and permissions.

These authorizations are determined by the level of permission assigned to the dashboard:

Permission	View	Edit	Administrate
PUBLIC	Everyone	Everyone	Owner & Admins
RESTRICTED	Everyone	Owner & Admins	Owner & Admins
PRIVATE	Owner	Owner	Owner

The RESTRICTED permission is automatically applied to new dashboards.

Custom Permissions

Greater permission levels can be granted to specific groups of users.

For example:

Set a dashboard to PRIVATE.

Assign the RESTRICTED permission to an Authorization Profile named Dashboard Viewers.

Consequently, only the owner and members of the Dashboard Viewers profile can access the dashboard.

Adding a Custom Permission

Click Add Permission and select an existing profile.

Choose the associated permission.

Multiple profiles with different permissions can be added.

Warning:

It is not possible to reduce permissions for a group below the default dashboard permission level.

If a dashboard is public, preventing a group from viewing or editing the dashboard is not possible.
