Manage Dashboards

Set Permissions

Users who manage or use dashboards need specific permissions to do so.

Permissions to Manage Dashboards

The built-in roles admin and developer both have sufficient permissions to manage dashboards.

For users who manage dashboards, set these permissions in roles, and then assign the roles to users:

GET:/solr/{id}/\*:id=*_collection-name_*
GET:/solr/{id}/admin/luke:id=*_collection-name_*
GET,POST,PUT,DELETE:/solr/system_blobs/\*
GET,POST,PUT,DELETE:/collections/system_blobs

Permissions to Use Dashboards

The built-in role search doesn’t have sufficient permissions to use dashboards.

For users who manage dashboards, set these permissions in roles, and then assign the roles to users:

GET:/solr/{id}/\*:id=*_collection-name_*
GET:/solr/{id}/admin/luke:id=*_collection-name_*
GET:/solr/system_blobs/\*
GET:/collections/system_blobs
