You can share predefined or custom dashboards using URLs, emails, and by copying the code to embed the dashboard into confluence or other internal official web pages. You can also assign and unassign a dashboard to specific user groups and export the dashboard configuration details.
When you use a non-authenticated shared URL, as a user you can open the dashboard in a new browser session. If you have already logged into VMware Aria Operations in another session, you are redirected to this dashboard and the user authentication permissions apply. To ensure that the non-authenticated URL opens the intended dashboard, as a user you must log out from all existing user sessions.
The dashboard shared with the URL opens in a page where you can access all the widgets within the dashboard and you can interact with the given widgets at the same time. A non-authenticated dashboard however, does not allow you to browse to other areas of VMware Aria Operations.
Dashboard sharing can only be applied to Groups with a VMware Aria Operations Standard Edition license.
