Configuring Ask your dashboard access
This guide explains how to control user access to Ask your dashboard.
For an overview of the feature from a user perspective, see
Ask your dashboard.
Ask your dashboard is opt-in only. Access is controlled through a
workspace-level setting and one of two additional mechanisms, depending
on how users access the dashboard.
Authorization mechanisms
Access is controlled through the following mechanisms:
- Workspace-level opt-in
Enables Ask your dashboard for the workspace.
This must be configured before any other mechanism. Configured in
the Manage section of the workspace administration settings.
The remaining mechanisms are independent and serve different use cases:
- Role-level access
Controls which workspace users can access Ask your dashboard.
Use this for users who have a workspace role in
Dashboards. Assigned per role in the Users & roles
section of the workspace administration settings. For more
information on managing roles, see Roles and permissions in Explore
& Present.
- Per-share toggle
Controls whether recipients of a specific shared dashboard can
access Ask your dashboard from it. Use this for external viewers
accessing a dashboard via a share link. Enabled or disabled
individually for each dashboard share in the dashboard sharing
settings. For more information on sharing dashboards, see
Sharing dashboards and
widgets.
