Hi teams,
Our requirement is to retrieve the owner details of the dashboard upon submission of the dashboard creation form and add a key. Additionally, we need to consistently check if this key is present in the ManageObject. If the key is found, the dashboard should be restricted from being visible to anyone.
click on save button we can add one key.
When clicking on the dashboard link, we should check if the key is available. If the key is present, the dashboard should be restricted from view and not accessible to anyone.
Thanks
Rahul
Hi,
If I got your requirement right, you want to control which Users are able to see a Dashboard. Did you find this option already?
I think it was introduced in context of Change logs - Cumulocity documentation
Thanks Korbinian,
Got it! So, I am looking for a user-based system where the user can create a dashboard as a “draft” initially, and later have the option to “publish” it. The system is based on user actions, rather than roles.
Hi @Korbinian_Butz1, Let me break Rahul’s requirement in two parts.
First, We need a create an option in the dashboard where user can create dashboard only for themselves and have option to publish to public. So if we try dashboards global role it will not help as all our user will have the same global role, we need user specific dashboards.
Second, The idea come up was that when any user creates a dashboards we flag that dashboard MO ( ManagedObject) with some fragment type i.e c8y_read, and when user push the dashboard to publish we remove that flag. Then we build a logic in cockpit code that if any dashboard MO has the c8y_read fragment only show the dashboard to owner. Now to build that logic we are looking help where in the cockpit code we can custom build that option?
If you select a global role that nobody is assigned to, it’s exactly what you are looking for: The user still sees the dashboard but nobody else will because of the owner concept of Managed Objects in the inventory.
When you are going to publish it, you just remove the dashboard setting and everybody else will see the dashboard.

Thanks, but I have to assign the user that global role which no body was assigned to. I will end up creating 100s of global role so that each user under each group or asset would be able to just create a their own dashboards.
Do you know where I can see the route of dashboard component in cockpit SDK?
No, you don’t have to. Like I described, create a global role, assign nobody to it and select it in the dashboard.

cool, I will give it a try thank you!
Instead of creating and using that global role that nobody is assigned to, you can also just unassign all global roles from the dashboard.
The owner of the dashboard will keep having access to the dashboard.
Still admins are able to see the dashboard, if another admin has created the dashboard and remove the all global role from dashboards, the other admins are able to see the dashboards.
