Hi @surekhasplunk ,

I don't think so we can manage permission of particular dashboard using any lookup file or csv file. But you can achieve this. Can you please try below XML? I have used user_mapping.csv with emp_username column only. You have to stored allowed username in this file. If logged in username is available in user_mapping.csv file then dashboard's panel will display otherwise it will display Access Denied. Here I have used sample panels and searches.

<dashboard>
  <label>Dashboard using login person</label>
  <search>
      <query>| inputlookup user_mapping.csv where emp_username="$env:user$" | stats count</query>
      <progress>
        <condition match="'result.count' == &quot;0&quot;">
          <unset token="employee_rights"/>
          <set token="access_denied">true</set>
        </condition>
        <condition>
          <unset token="access_denied"/>
          <set token="employee_rights">true</set>
        </condition>
      </progress>
    </search>
    <row>
    <panel depends="$access_denied$">
      <html>
        <h1>$env:user$ : Access Denied.</h1>
      </html>
    </panel>
    </row>
  <row>
    <panel depends="$employee_rights$">
      <table>
        <title>Dashboard Panel - 1</title>
        <search>
          <query>| inputlookup user_mapping.csv</query>
        </search>
        <option name="count">100</option>
        <option name="dataOverlayMode">none</option>
        <option name="drilldown">none</option>
        <option name="percentagesRow">false</option>
        <option name="rowNumbers">false</option>
        <option name="totalsRow">false</option>
        <option name="wrap">true</option>
      </table>
    </panel>
    <panel depends="$employee_rights$">
      <table>
        <title>Dashboard Panel - 2</title>
        <search>
          <query>| inputlookup user_mapping.csv</query>
        </search>
        <option name="count">100</option>
        <option name="dataOverlayMode">none</option>
        <option name="drilldown">none</option>
        <option name="percentagesRow">false</option>
        <option name="rowNumbers">false</option>
        <option name="totalsRow">false</option>
        <option name="wrap">true</option>
      </table>
    </panel>
  </row>
</dashboard>

Please let me know for further assistance.

Thanks

you'll want to create a conditional token for these possibilities and use depends on the panels you want to populate.
http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/SplunkCloud/6.6.3/Viz/tokens#Search_tokens_for_dynamic_display_...
http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/SplunkCloud/6.6.3/Viz/PanelreferenceforSimplifiedXML#Shared_att...

something like this where the search with employee column resides (and do the same logic for manager, creating a token called manager):

 <progress>
       <condition match="'result.employee' == name">
           <set token="employee">true</set>
       </condition>
       <condition>
           <unset token="employee"/>
       </condition>
   </progress>

then, in the panels you want to hide/show, use <panel depends=$employee$> and <panel depends=$manager$> or a combination of both
