  • Use the glide.cms.dashboards.sharing_with_secure_search property to control whether users can share dashboards.

    When the glide.cms.dashboards.sharing_with_secure_search system property is not set to true, a user can share a dashboard to groups and roles that they do not personally have access to. This property enforces ACLs on searching the User [sys_user], Roles [sys_user_role], and Groups [sys_user_group] tables when sharing a dashboard.

    Set the glide.cms.dashboards.sharing_with_secure_search system property is set to true.
