How to view a dashboard without manually logging in

Grafana Authentication
1

Hi *,

I am building a Grafana dashboard that should be easily accessible from different clients in my network without login and password. So I created a service account in Grafana and added a service token. Is it possible to modify the URL to my dashboards with the token, maybe like this?

http://your-grafana-instance/d/YOUR_DASHBOARD?orgId=1&api_key=YOUR_API_KEY

I tried it in this format, but it does not work (the login screen is still visible, no direct access to the dashboard).

What could be the problem? Am I misinterpreting the role of the token? Are there any other ways to solve this problem?

I am grateful for any help.

Yes, it’s for API, but you are calling UI, not API.

You may better fit with JWT auth for your case:
