12/07/2023, 3:52 PMHi Nikita, you would have to configure this on the User Permissions side to limit access to the Edit button.
The embedded iFrame will always show it if the authenticated user has the rights to edit the dashboard. So you’d have to give the users who will use the embedded dashboard the VIEW permission.

12/07/2023, 4:17 PMHi Francisco, What if we want to display the dashboard on a website for public view?
Right now I can see the user limit as 10.
I am using GoodData Cloud Free Trial Version.

But the JWT still needs to authenticate a user in the Org (in this case a Shared user that will be accessed by the public to look at the dashboard). That’s where the user permissions come in - we make sure that this user(s) doesn’t have Edit access.

Of course, it would still be highly recommended to set up the user permissions for the dashboard anyway, for security’s sake.

12/11/2023, 4:23 PMHi Nikita, I’m afraid that the only resource we have describing iFrame embedding is the article I already shared with you, Embed Visualizations Using Iframes.
We do have a Component Library with several embedded examples, but those were developed using the GD.UI SDK, which is a different beast altogether, but it might come in handy
