Hi @nikhil.bokil,

SAML is not currently supported on the Elastic Cloud. As far as embedding a dashboard in another website, you could put a proxy in front of Kibana, and have this proxy forward credentials to Kibana for authentication.

Here's an example NGINX configuration that you could use as a starting point: [Auto-authenticating to iframe-embedded Kibana dashboard](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/auto-authenticating-to-iframe-embedded-kibana-dashboard/46091/4?u=larry_gregory)
