Hi, I'm visualizing some data to some users in my intranet, where I do not need high-level security.  
I only want my users to see Dashboard part in KIBANA but hide all other parts from them.  
And I have tried to share a dashboard through `iframe` on a web page, but this can only share a "fixed" dashboard, which can not let users choose the time slot they want to view.  
So can anyone give me a solution which meets my requirement?

Thank you!

You can use kibana time plugin as visualization to do so.

Thank you for your advice. I will have a try on it.  
BTW, is this an official plug-in? Or a 3rd-party plug-in?

I'm following the guide on GitHub, but when I tried to install the plugin after git clone

> cd KIBANA\_HOME/plugins  
> git clone [git@github.com](mailto:git@github.com):nreese/kibana-time-plugin.git  
> cd KIBANA\_HOME/plugins/kibana-time-plugin  
> bower install  
> vi kibana-time-plugin/package.js //set version to match kibana version

I can't run any command like `bower`.  
Could you please tell me how to install it?

Thank you!

Bower is a component by Node, so first you need to install node like  
`yum install nodejs npm` in case you are using centos or RHEL

Then install bower as  
`npm install bower`
