Do dashboard viewers need to have an account to view the dashboard?

Do dashboard viewers need to have an account to view the dashboard?

Reason: Clients are being asked to create an account and log into Smartsheets to view the dashboard.

I don’t recall having this issue in the past. Is there a dashboard security setting that I’m missing?

FYI: for dashboard in the past, I created a client facing dashboard and a user group with a list client email address. No access reported issue or need to create an account reported in the past.

Thank You Andree,

I'm well, thanks for asking and I hope you are well too.

I'll review the publish option with the client and take next steps based on exposure risk acceptance decision.

Hi @BO'Neil

I hope you're well and safe!

They don't need to have an account if it's published. Ensure that the Publish setting is as below.

Did that work/help?

I hope that helps!

Be safe and have a fantastic week!

Best,

@Andrée Starå I have the same issue. I did check the settings and it matches your screenshot above, but they are still getting the option to log in.
