We are using Kibana dashboards as an embedded URL experience. Based on the user we want to display only relevant records and filters to the users.

As an example, we have one index which stores records for all customers. Based on the user we want to ensure the embedded URL can only show specific customers in the dashboards. How can we implement this use case?

I believe that using Space, it is possible to do this.

Assigning the appropriate privileges:

I can't use spaces. I am embedding dashboard URL in to my app. Is there a way I can pass user info as part of the dashboard URL that can enforce restriction of data acess
