Hellow everyone,

I know I can export my dashboard thanks to the iframe link and to add to my web page. However, it is still possible through my web page to modify my dashboard. I would like to know if there is a parameter inside the url or something else that disables this feature. It would be great for me !!

Thank your for your attention and your help.

You either get too much or too little interactivity IMHO.

This is usually addressed by using Shield, which allows for user-level access to the indexes including the one which stores the dashboard.

is there any free solution than Shield ?  
Furthermore, is there any way to disable click on imported panels through a url parameter ?
