deploy user dashboard to everyone

Post by Chite »

Hello, is there a way to deploy a users dashboard to all users? I'm only seeing the option to deploy dasboards to Admin users. I have a user that created a dashboard for our citrix servers that wants to allow the managment to have access to that dashboard. as an admin I can't go in and see his dashboard from the xi interface. the only way I can think of allowing him to do that would be to make him a temporary admin on nagios and then deploy the dashboard and then remove his admin rights... any thoughts on how I could accomplish that?

thanks!

As it stands right now I believe the intent is that only admins can push dashboards to other users:
This tool allows admins to deploy one or more of their own dashboards to other users.
So yes, you would need to temporarily grant admin access to that user to push the dashboard.

I can have a feature request filed for the ability for an admin to grab dashboards from other users though, which could then be shared. Would that work?

yes, that would be awesome if an admin could go in and grab the dashboard from another user and deploy that to everyone. it would make life a lot easier :)

thanks!
