How to limit dashboard view based on User's IP address?

Hi,

I have a dashboard and I need to limit the view of this dashboard to people with certain IP addresses.

Is this possible and, if yes, how?


Thanks,
Patrick

Hey @POR160893,

If you are having a list of users with specific IP addresses or the range, you can create a custom role and then assign those users the custom role. Then the dashboard read/write permissions can be controlled using the RBAC (Role Based Access Control) and only the users that have read access to that dashboard will be able to view it. More information related to RBAC can be found below:
