Splunk Dashboard- Why is the edit dashboard mood screen appearing?

One dashboard was made by me. I'm showing my colleagues my dashboard. Problem: When my coworkers or I access that Splunk dashboard link(clean the cookies), the edit dashboard mood screen immediately appears. I merely want to showcase mood; I don't want to edit mood. PS: I alone may provide permission; others cannot.

Hi @alakdam,

maybe you could put the dashboard link in an App menu, but using the view name not the link, something like this:

<nav>
   <view name="<your_view_name>" />
</nav>

In this way, you and the other users will access the dashbord in display mode not in Edit Mode, then, who can edit the dashboard has also the "Edit" button.

Ciao.
