Embed dashboards in websites and applications

I am embedding a dashboard in my react application using an iframe.

https://www.databricks.com/blog/how-embed-aibi-dashboards-your-websites-and-applications

https://docs.databricks.com/en/dashboards/index.html#embed-a-dashboard

1. How can i let my users view the dashboard, without the need to sign in to databricks?
I want databricks to be transparent for the user so the UX don't feel as if the user navigates away of my app and going through the hole login process.

2. If I have 100 users, for each I want to give access to the same dashboard, only with different dataset, what is the best way to handle that?

Cheers!

Hello @AE10 

To allow users to view the dashboard without needing to sign in to Databricks, you can publish the dashboard with embedded credentials. This way, all viewers of the published dashboard can run queries using your credentials for data and compute. This allows users to see the dashboard even if they don’t have access to the originating workspace, underlying data, or SQL warehouse. However, be cautious as this might expose data to users who have not been granted direct access to it. https://docs.databricks.com/en/dashboards/index.html#publish-dashboard

To handle access for multiple users, each with a different dataset, you can use the following approach:

  1. Create a base dashboard: Design and publish a base dashboard within Databricks.
  2. Parameterize datasets: Use parameters in your SQL queries to dynamically adjust the dataset based on user input.
  3. Embed the dashboard: Embed the dashboard in your application using iframes.
  4. Pass parameters via URL: Use URL parameters to pass specific dataset identifiers for each user. This way, when a user accesses the dashboard, the appropriate dataset is loaded based on the parameters in the URL.

For example, you can use the following URL structure to pass parameters: <databricks-instance>/dashboardsv3/<dashboard-id>/published?o=<workspace-id>&f_<parameter-id>=<value>

@Alberto_Umana , This is really helpful, if we use embedded credentials does it mandatory for end user to have access to data bricks to view dashboard ?

Hi @Alberto_Umana, in the embed dialog I get this message saying "users will still need to log in..."

Am I missing some settings that I need to configure?

Also, can you maybe provide a code example for the solution you suggested above?

Cheers.

Hi ,

Has anyone gotten this working? I am facing the same issue when trying to get the embedded URL working from an iframe in my React application. I think I have all the necessary permissions in place, but still, the Databricks sign-in page opens instead of the dashboard.
