Elasticsearch Cloud Hosted, 8.

We’ll create separate spaces with a dashboard per space.  
We’ll provide users (that we create) access to a specific Kibana dashboard on Elastic and an embedded iframe of their application.

We have potential login options as:

1. login using their email and password.
2. login with SSO e.g Okta
3. login with a pre authenticated link that we create via the API

Is it possible to create a pre-authenticated link that when clicked will take the user to the Elasticsearch hosted Kibana dashboard?  
Or can we only create a pre-authenticated link for embedding Kibana dashboard iframes?

Hello @Robin_Gorry

Can we can create a Link & share that short link with the users , post which when they login it will directly open the Dashboard :

The above option creates a Link & when we try to access that it will directly open the dashboard for the user. Could you share if this is the requirement or give more details ?

Thanks!!

@Tortoise When embedded iframe is used to integrate a visualization or dashboard into a custom UI it forward to login page of kibana.

@Robin_Gorry

1. It’d be easier to just create a custom visualization by sending curl request and rendering the response.
2. You can use Anonymous Authentication. I tested with Elasticsearch it works fine but never tested for kibana iframe. [User authentication | Elastic Docs](https://www.elastic.co/docs/deploy-manage/users-roles/cluster-or-deployment-auth/user-authentication#anonymous-authentication)
