Editing Dashboard Privileges

You can grant or revoke the privileges required to view, edit, and delete a custom dashboard on the Dashboards page in Enterprise Manager.

After a custom dashboard is created, an Enterprise Manager Super Administrator can edit privileges to grant the following dashboard privileges:

  • VIEW_DASHBOARD: Allows a user to view the dashboard.
  • EDIT_DASHBOARD: Allows a user to view and edit the dashboard.
  • FULL_DASHBOARD: Allows a user to view, edit, and delete the dashboard.
To edit dashboard privileges:
  1. Navigate to the Dashboards page.
  2. Click the Actions icon for the custom dashboard and click Edit privileges....

    Note:

    The Edit privileges... option is disabled for out-of-the-box dashboards and if you are not the Enterprise Manager Super Administrator.
  3. In the Edit dashboard privileges panel:
    1. Select one or more users and the privileges you want to grant to the users, and click Add.

      Note that if assigning the View Dashboard privilege to a user, the View Saved Search (VIEW_SAVED_SEARCH) privilege, which allows the user to view the widgets in the dashboard, is also automatically assigned.

    2. Review the selected users and privileges under Dashboard Privileges.

      To revoke the privilege granted to a user, click the Revoke icon in the Revoke column.

    3. Click Save.
    4. Review the Save dashboard privileges message and click OK.
The changes to the dashboard privileges are saved.
Note that you can also use the emcli grant_privs command and the DashboardID, which is a part of the dashboard metadata identified by the "id" attribute, to grant dashboard privileges. Here is an example of the EMCLI command:
$ emcli grant_privs -name="<USER>" -privilege="EDIT_DASHBOARD;DASHBOARD_ID=<DashboardID>"
