I know some people have got this to work but I don’t know the details. Just by googling “grafana iframe authentication”, I found:
- Embed Grafana dashboard in web application - #3 by hemamalini
- Passing roles to grafana iframe from parent
- Automatic login by token url · Issue #3752 · grafana/grafana · GitHub
This is incorrect. Grafana has multi-tenant support (you can create multiple organizations that do not have access to other organizations’ dashboards).
Also, in the current Grafana 5.0 beta, a new feature is dashboard permissions: http://docs.grafana.org/v5.0/administration/permissions/#dashboard-folder-permissions so you can grant access to a folder (also a new feature) or to an individual dashboard.
