Dashboard publishing

Post by davide.depaoli »

Hello,
I'm started playing to create a simple web portal containing among other things also Veeam ONE reports.
I have:
- created my own dashboard in reporter
- shared with AD user (simple user, not admin)
- published dashboard and taken its direct URL.

All is working as espected, but on the my dashboard webpage, if the user clicks the arrow next to dashboard name, is redirected to the main dashboard page, which might not be allowed to see.
I would get that the user doesn't has the ability to browse other pages.

Hi Vitaliy,
just tried to login to reporter with that user and, yes, it is able to see all dashboards. But this is a normal user I have created in AD for demo and testing purpose. now I create a new user and try with this one.

UPDATE: also this new AD user is able to see all dashboards. Are there any setup in veeam to avoid this ?

UPDATE #2: created local user and also this one is seeing all dashboards

tnx

Ok, just one clarification - when you say is able to see all dashboards, does it include dashboard data? For example, you have a user with limited access to the VI (only a sub-set of VMs belongs to him), then you publish a dashboard for this user. So the question is - when you open this dashboard and click on "back" to see all dashboard are you able to see data in these dashboards which were not published/shared with the user?

Yes, this user can see all dashboard data.
My workflow was this:

- created a normal AD and local (to the veeam server) users , both belonging to their own group (domain\users or local\users, not admin). These users are not part of any role in vCenter.
- shared my dashboard with that user (with view permission level).
- browing to my dashboard using its direct url
- login with one of these two users
- I see my dashboard page with data. Click on the arrow takes me on the main page of the reporter, and I can see all dashboards and their data.
- All other dashboards are by default shared only to administrators.

tnx

Ok, I will ask our QC team to reproduce it. One more question if you don't mind: users created in the first step do NOT belong to any of Veeam ONE predefined groups, correct?

We have reproduced this behavior and will discuss with the dev team our future plans for addressing it. Thanks for the heads up!
