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

ModeWho can see itWhen to use
PrivateYou and your organization membersThe default for new dashboards
Public linkAnyone with the URLStatus pages, shared metrics, marketing
Password-protected linkAnyone with the URL and passwordInternal data you want gated but easy
InvitationSpecific people you invite by emailTightly scoped collaboration

Open a dashboard, click the Share button in the top-right, and pick the mode you want.

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.

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:

  1. Click ShareInvite by email.
  2. Enter one or more email addresses.
  3. 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:

ParameterValuesEffect
embedtrue / falseHide app chrome
themelight / dark / systemOverride dashboard theme
interactivetrue / falseAllow / disable widget interactions

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.
