Asked and Answered? Grafana Cloud - Embed dashboard

Hi @gaetanpadovani - there are a few different ways to work with Grafana so the configuration options will vary depending on your environment. For example, allow_embed is not a supported setting for the hosted Grafana Cloud platform. You can choose to enable this setting for a self-hosted environment running Grafana open source software or Grafana Enterprise license.

I’m not as familiar with allowed configuration settings for the official partnerships such as Amazon Managed Grafana or Azure Managed Grafana, however I would recommend checking in with their support team if you are using these other managed platforms.
