Go to Admin -> Manage Components and click on the settings icon (crossed wrench and screwdriver) next to Backend API URL. Select your user and click Apply Settings.

This page has a bunch of URLs that can be used to query XI for information. You will want to copy the "&username=nagiosadmin&ticket=XXXXXXXX" part from one of the URLs. Then open up a dashboard in a new tab to get the dashboard URL, and stick the "&username=nagiosadmin&ticket=XXXXXXXX" part on the end. This should let you view that dashboard without logging in.
