navigation tiles in a dashboard vs workspaces

[db042190]

Hi, i'm, in the middle of a course and saw a dashboard demo where some graphic tiles were used for navigation.    There were 4 tiles , marketing, manufacturing , finance etc.  But from what i'm seeing, a dashbaoard is related to a workspace and workspaces can be locked down security wise based on who can see, contribute etc.  Can someone help me to understand how a dashboard built for general use in the company can have those navigation tiles locked down in a similar way to workspaces? what if i want the ceo to see and use  all nav tiles in a view mode but allow all but the finance navigation from being viewed by mary?

Hi, @db042190 

Yes, you can use Azure role-based access control (Azure RBAC) to assign roles to either a single user or a group of users for a dashboard. You can select a role that allows them only to view the published dashboard, or a role that also allows them to modify it. Within a dashboard, individual tiles enforce their own access control requirements based on the resources they display. You can share any dashboard broadly, even though some data on specific tiles might not be visible to all users. You can assign Azure RBAC built-in roles to groups of users (or to individual users) for each dashboard that you have published. This lets them use that role on the dashboard, even if their subscription-level permissions wouldn't normally allow it. You can assign permissions to a resource group that contains several dashboards, or assign permissions to individual dashboards. For example, if a group of users should have limited permissions across the subscription, but they need to be able to edit one particular dashboard, you can assign those users a different role with more permissions (such as Contributor) for that dashboard only.
