Sharing
Make a dashboard public, invite people, embed it, or password-protect it.
Every dashboard supports four sharing modes — pick the one that matches your audience.
Modes at a glance
| Mode | Who can see it | When to use |
|---|---|---|
| Private | You and your organization members | The default for new dashboards |
| Public link | Anyone with the URL | Status pages, shared metrics, marketing |
| Password-protected link | Anyone with the URL and password | Internal data you want gated but easy |
| Invitation | Specific people you invite by email | Tightly scoped collaboration |
Open a dashboard, click the Share button in the top-right, and pick the mode you want.
Public links
Toggle Public sharing to generate a token-based URL:
https://www.widgets.pro/share/{shareToken}The token is a shr_-prefixed identifier. Anyone with the link can view the dashboard read-only — they don't need an account.
You can rotate the token at any time (any old links stop working). You can also disable public sharing without deleting it; the dashboard reverts to private and the token is preserved if you re-enable later.
Password-protected links
In the share modal, enable Require password and set one. The same share/{shareToken} URL is used, but viewers see a password prompt before the dashboard loads. Wrong attempts are rate-limited.
Use this for dashboards that aren't sensitive enough for full auth but shouldn't be world-readable.
Invitations
Invite specific people by email:
- Click Share → Invite by email.
- Enter one or more email addresses.
- Pick the role — viewer or editor.
Invitees get an email with a link. They sign up (or log in) and the dashboard appears in their list. Pending invitations are listed in the share modal and can be revoked at any time.
Embedding
Drop a dashboard into your own site with an iframe:
<iframe
src="https://www.widgets.pro/share/{shareToken}?embed=true"
width="100%"
height="600"
frameborder="0"
></iframe>The embed=true flag hides the widgets.pro chrome (header, sidebar) so only the dashboard content shows.
Available query parameters:
| Parameter | Values | Effect |
|---|---|---|
embed | true / false | Hide app chrome |
theme | light / dark / system | Override dashboard theme |
interactive | true / false | Allow / disable widget interactions |
Short links
Public dashboards also get a short link for easier sharing:
https://www.widgets.pro/s/{shortId}Find it in the share modal next to the full URL.
Revoking access
- Public link: toggle off in the share modal — the URL stops working immediately.
- Password: change or remove it.
- Invitation: remove the user from the dashboard or cancel the pending invitation.
Access changes propagate within seconds; viewers currently on the dashboard get a permission-denied state on next refresh.
