Custom Dashboard Permissions

This page provides an overview of permissions for custom dashboards in Splunk AppDynamics.

The role of Dashboards Viewer has permissions that limit users to only viewing custom dashboards in the Controller Tenant UI. The permissions of this role apply if you do not set more specific permissions for an individual custom dashboard.

Each custom dashboard inherits the default custom dashboard permissions unless you override the defaults by configuring separate explicit permissions for individual dashboards.

Note: Creating custom dashboard templates requires the Configure 'My Dashboards' for Tiers and Nodes permission, which you can set at the application level. See Application Permissions.

Default Permissions

Changes made to custom permissions automatically apply to existing and future dashboards. You can create special permissions for specific dashboards.

Share Permission

You can allow the users to share their dashboards publicly (without requiring a login) with the share permission. This permission allows you to control the permissions that a user or a role can acquire.

Enable the Share Permission

You can enable the Share icon on the dashboard after configuring the default share permissions:

  1. Navigate to Dashboards & Reports.
  2. Right-click a dashboard.
  3. Select Share > Share Dashboard.

When you set the share permission to active yet no role with share access exists, dashboard users cannot share the dashboard. You must update all default roles with share=true when appropriate.

Attention: When you set the share permission to active yet no role with share access exists, dashboard users cannot share the dashboard. You must update all default roles with share=true when appropriate.
