Hello Dojo team,
I read the discussion of this old post and I would like to suggest rethinking the current approach to the default security level of dashboards.
In the use case shared by Joël, dashboards are created for external partners, each with their own dashboard.
When manually creating a new dashboard for a new partner, the current default security level is set to ‘Public, anyone can edit’.
As a result, this new dashboard, which will contain the private partner’s data, will be visible and editable by all other partners.
Knowing that dozens of new partner dashboards will be manually created over months, the risk of shared dashboards exists and needs to be addressed.
Setting the default security level to “Private, only you have access” would mitigate this risk.
Can you please consider investigating this use case?
Suggestion: Define an option to select the appropriate default security level.
Thank you for your assistance.
Hello Sylvain,
I appreciate you bringing up your concerns about the current approach.
Our current plan entails allowing users to set access settings for folders in Dashboards. Under this proposal, a user will only have visibility of a dashboard if they have access to both the folder it resides in and the specific dashboard itself. In your scenario, you would restrict access to a particular folder, thereby making the folder and every dashboard created within that folder hidden by default to everyone else.
What are your thoughts on this proposal?
