Grant access to dashboard with only one specific variable

[ahoiroman]

Hello there,

I got a dashboard, which contains some variables (in this case: category and URLs):

{
  "templating": {
    "list": [
      {
        "allValue": null,
        "current": {
          "selected": false,
          "text": "default",
          "value": "default"
        },
        "datasource": "Influx-SP",
        "definition": "",
        "error": null,
        "hide": 0,
        "includeAll": false,
        "label": null,
        "multi": false,
        "name": "category",
        "options": [],
        "query": "SHOW TAG VALUES WITH KEY = \"category\"",
        "refresh": 1,
        "regex": "",
        "skipUrlSync": false,
        "sort": 0,
        "tagValuesQuery": "",
        "tags": [],
        "tagsQuery": "",
        "type": "query",
        "useTags": false
      },
      {
        "allValue": null,
        "datasource": "Influx-SP",
        "definition": "",
        "error": null,
        "hide": 0,
        "includeAll": false,
        "label": "group",
        "multi": false,
        "name": "group",
        "options": [],
        "query": "SHOW TAG VALUES WITH KEY = \"group\" WHERE \"category\" =~ /$category/",
        "refresh": 1,
        "regex": "",
        "skipUrlSync": false,
        "sort": 0,
        "tagValuesQuery": "",
        "tags": [],
        "tagsQuery": "",
        "type": "query",
        "useTags": false
      },
      {
        "allValue": null,
        "current": {
          "selected": false,
          "text": "_",
          "value": "_"
        },
        "datasource": "Influx-SP",
        "definition": "",
        "error": null,
        "hide": 0,
        "includeAll": false,
        "label": null,
        "multi": false,
        "name": "page",
        "options": [],
        "query": "SHOW TAG VALUES WITH KEY = \"page\" WHERE \"group\" =~ /$group/ AND \"category\" =~ /$category/",
        "refresh": 1,
        "regex": "",
        "skipUrlSync": false,
        "sort": 0,
        "tagValuesQuery": "",
        "tags": [],
        "tagsQuery": "",
        "type": "query",
        "useTags": false
      },
      {
        "allValue": null,
        "current": {
          "selected": false,
          "text": "chrome",
          "value": "chrome"
        },
        "datasource": "Influx-SP",
        "definition": "",
        "error": null,
        "hide": 0,
        "includeAll": false,
        "label": null,
        "multi": false,
        "name": "browser",
        "options": [],
        "query": "SHOW TAG VALUES WITH KEY = \"browser\" WHERE \"group\" =~ /$group/ AND \"page\"  =~ /$page/ AND \"category\" =~ /$category/",
        "refresh": 1,
        "regex": "",
        "skipUrlSync": false,
        "sort": 0,
        "tagValuesQuery": "",
        "tags": [],
        "tagsQuery": "",
        "type": "query",
        "useTags": false
      },
      {
        "allValue": null,
        "current": {
          "selected": false,
          "text": "native",
          "value": "native"
        },
        "datasource": "Influx-SP",
        "definition": "",
        "error": null,
        "hide": 0,
        "includeAll": false,
        "label": null,
        "multi": false,
        "name": "connectivity",
        "options": [],
        "query": "SHOW TAG VALUES WITH KEY = \"connectivity\" WHERE \"group\" =~ /$group/ AND \"page\"  =~ /$page/ AND \"browser\" =~ /$browser/ AND \"category\" =~ /$category/",
        "refresh": 1,
        "regex": "",
        "skipUrlSync": false,
        "sort": 0,
        "tagValuesQuery": "",
        "tags": [],
        "tagsQuery": "",
        "type": "query",
        "useTags": false
      }
    ]
  }
}

Now I’d like to allow users to see measurements of specific urls. At the moment, the field group shows all URLs and the user can see a list of all urls, no matter if he is supposed to see it or not (of course, this is because the query SHOW TAG VALUES WITH KEY = \"group\" WHERE \"category\" =~ /$category/ returns all entries).

So I’d like to get some best practices to solve this issue. Unfortunately the docs did not help me out

Hi,

Permissions are available on Dashboards and Data Sources, You can create dashboard specific for user and change the variable for each.

Hope it helps.

Good Luck
