5. After configuring, copy the URL of this menu.

6. Open a new browser in guest mode.

Manually Adding Dashboard Permissions for Anonymous Usage of Private Dashboards

For security reasons, EdgeHub has added Group User permissions to Dashboard Folder permissions. This means that:

• Group User = Dashboard Folder User
• "Viewer" permissions are removed from Dashboard Folder permission, other users within the organization will not be able to see the contents of that folder.

If you want to allow anonymous access to all Dashboards within a specific folder, you can directly add "Viewer" permissions to that folder:

1. Go to the Dashboards menu and select Manage

2. Find the folder you want to edit and click on Settings

3. Switch to the Permissions tab and click Add permission

4. Select Everyone With Viewer Role and choose View. Then click Save to save the settings.

5. You will see that a new Viewer is added to the list of people in the folder.

6. In the Menu settings, select a Dashboard that is placed within your Group.

7. Open a guest browser and verify that the Dashboard is displayed correctly.
