Hi @Lorenzo Rondanโ€‹ , unfortunately, it is not possible to share a Dashboard with the user who doesn't have a Databricks account.

To refresh the dashboard and get updated data, the notebook has to be attached to a cluster and the commands will be executed. Consider, if the Dashboard is available for the user without a Databricks account, the user won't be able to get the latest data on the Dashboard using the update button.

So if a user doesn't have a Databricks account then it is not possible for them to access the Dashboard.

My team will be definitely interested on that feature. Assign a cluster to one notebook/dashboard and share it inside the organization with a SSO login for example but not databricks account needed.

I want to follow up on this thread since the responses seem to refer to the notebook-related dash. For the Redash dashboards integrated with SQL Analytics, is there a recommended way to share it internally without a databricks account? (e.g. SSO login)

BUMP! This would be a huge boon for our workflow. Have there been any developments or serious considerations for adding to the roadmap?

Hi friends - 

To confirm, with new lakeview dashboards you can share dashboards to users and groups in your organization without having to provide any workspace and/or compute access. 

https://docs.databricks.com/en/dashboards/index.html#what-is-share-to-account

You do need to "register" those users with Databricks (usually via account level scim provisioning) prior to them being able to access a dashboard. This enables "share this dashboard to userX and userY only" and prevents against anyone who finds a link on Twitter potentially being able to access sensitive data!

Welcome thoughts and feedback!
