Hi @tejashree,

Have you tried using the `show-top-menu=false` option in your embedding URL in the iframe [as covered in this blog](https://www.elastic.co/blog/how-to-embed-kibana-dashboards)? That will hide the edit button.

Hope that helps!

Hi @tejashree,

Do you want to make the dashboards read-only when accessed via the iframe? You could create a read-only user and enable anonymous authentication [as covered in the same blog](https://www.elastic.co/blog/how-to-embed-kibana-dashboards). By using the read-only user as a defined provider using the `auth_provider_hint` option it would show the dashboard in read-only mode when accessed in this way.

Actually we have to create a space where users an select the visualizations and create their own dashboards, without providing the access to create any visualizations and block access to indicies
