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
does not 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
