Hello,

If by a panel you mean the dashboard, there is a permissions section in the dashboard settings:

Delete the “Viewer” and “Editor” permissions, and add the team/user that you want to give access to.

I am trying to disable/hide ‘logins’ panel to Viewers. Is there a way to achieve this?

No it is not possible.

You should create a new dashboard without that panel…

As a workaround you can convert that panel into a library panel:

Create library panel

And configure necessary permissions for the folder containing this library panel:

Viewers won’t see the content of this library panel used at a dashboard, but result would not be very nice anyway. Viewers would see “Panel plugin not found: Unable to load library panel” message:

So more efficient approach would be, as mentioned above, to create a new dashboard without that panel
