Canvas Dashboard Drill-throughs

Hello! We’re extremely excited for the option to have drill-throughs available in canvas dashboards soon, but we’ve got some questions about how this will work, especially in regards to our embed workflow.

Because holistics drill-throughs are a whole separate dashboard, we’re wondering how that will work with embed permissions. Once users click to drill into something, will our application have the opportunity to somehow pass in new permissions for the second dashboard? Will the permissions be inherited from the original dashboard?

Follow-up: we did confirm that a drill-through on non-canvas dashboards inherit permissions for embedding, so just confirming that canvas dashboards will work the same?

Thank you for raising this question, @anya.conti !

Yes, when you perform a drill-through to a target dashboard, it inherits the permission settings of your source embedded dashboard, whether it’s a canvas dashboard or a legacy one.

Could you please confirm if this aligns with your expectations?

Additionally, just want to ensure I fully address your question:

Once users click to drill into something, will our application have the opportunity to somehow pass in new permissions for the second dashboard?

Are you looking to assign different permissions to the target dashboard?

Ah, the question for “Once users click to drill into something, will our application have the opportunity to somehow pass in new permissions for the second dashboard?” was meant to be if the permissions were NOT inherited from the first dashboard to the second. Since they are, this satisfies our needs! Thanks so much for the response!
