I want a dashboard I can give out as a URL that only exposes the components of the dashboard (pretty charts) and no other menus.

Hi @ivahbo,

Have you tried the Share | Embed code from the given kibana dashboard?

Here's some more [information](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/8.11/kibana-authentication.html#embedded-content-authentication) on the security considerations needed when doing that.
