Best way to publish a live dashboard that does not allow the logged in user to search other data, and has a persistent login.

[bgagliardi1]

I'm trying to put a dashboard on a TV in a high traffic hallway with people that aren't allowed to search the other information in an index.

1) How can I publish a live dashboard that doesn't provide someone the ability to click the magnifying glass and search the rest of the data, or manipulate the search or dashboard panels in anyway?
2) How can I setup persistent login for one service account?

Thanks

Hi bgagliardi1,
to have a user that access only one dashboard and read data from only one index you have to:

• create a role (e.g. "guest") ex novo, not starting from user;
• this role can access only one App and starts from it;
• give to this role only the capabilities to run a search;
• give to this role access only to your index;
• create a user with only this role;
• create a dashboard giving to the role "guest" access to the dashboard and the used knowledge objects only in read mode;
• disable access to the address bar of your browser;
• disable access to the Splunk Menu,
• give to your dashboard an automatic refresh.

Bye.
Giuseppe

Cusello, which step ensures that the user stays logged in persistently? Or is there no need to log in if we run through these steps?
