Read Only Kibana Dashboard

Hello Everyone,
I have created a Dashboard in Kibana 5 and now i want to share with users such that they can only view the Dashboard and not make any changes to it.
How can i achieve that?
Which privileges should be assigned ?

hi @tausif786,

I guess you are using the Security plugin from X-Pack? You can assign the visitor-user read-only priviliges on the .kibana index. That way, they cannot modify any of the dashboards and visualizations.

You might also be interested in https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/10585. Starting from 5.4, when sharing Dashboards, they will be shared in "view-only" mode, so visitors to shared dashboard will not see the editing-links. That will work without the Security-plugin too. 5.4 is the next upcoming minor release, which is coming soon.

thx,
