Sharing a Dashboard securely?

Hoping this isn't too basic of a question...

How can I share a dashboard without user seeing apps, messages, settings, activity across the top. The dashboard is a search, and users in the role have only search, rtsearch, and rest_get_properties capabilities.

We'd prefer users in that role don't see the actual search app but especially not the tabs across the top mentioned above and here...

Thanks in advance.

Dashboards and forms have the same attributes.  There's an example in the doc, but it's easy to miss.

Hi @richgalloway Rich.  So the dashboard is actually a form...  I'm not an XML guy so I keep getting various errors.  Where and how do I insert the hideChrome="true" attribute?  Here's a snippet of the form.  THANKS!

<form theme="dark">
<label>Steve - AD User Logon Failures Clone</label>
<description>Gets logon failure reasons for AD users</description>
<fieldset submitButton="true" autoRun="true">
<input type="text" token="user" searchWhenChanged="false">
<label>Logon Account Name</label>
<default></default>
<initialValue></initialValue>
</input>
<input type="time" token="timeRange" searchWhenChanged="false">
<label>Time Range</label>
