Hi,  
are the canvas protected by x-pack?  
it's possible to embed a canvas in a kibana's dashboard?

Best Regards  
Filippo

If you have [enabled security](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elastic-stack-overview/current/get-started-enable-security.html), Canvas workpads will require user authentication just like all other visualizations.

At this time Canvas workpads can not be embedded into Kibana dashboards. There is an [existing feature request](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/23042) for this.
