[Dashboard] Allow Authors to Limit Interactivity

cjcenizal commented 7 years ago

Purpose

Dashboard authors want to be able to limit which functionalities are accessible to the end user / analyst.

Capabilities

Dashboard authors should be able to disallow users from doing the following.

~~Dashboard panel moving and resizing~~ this is already available with view / edit mode
Changing the time range
Filtering the dashboard from the top bar
Filtering the dashboard via UI Actions (like chart clicking / brushing)
Panel UI actions (inspect, full screen)
Querying (optionally showing the search bar)

+1 - this feature would be very useful.

Likely, the way this will be exposed is via a setting on the dashboard level that allows for the filters, time range & query bar to be hidden while in view mode. Then, that dashboard will always be locked down that way for analysts regardless of whether they are viewing the Dashboard through an iframe or through the Kibana UI.

In order to do this correctly, we will need to disable some UI actions, and add some functionality to the new Controls feature to allow the dashboard author to specify exactly what level of interactivity they want this dashboard to have. This is why I've given this an loe:multi-week estimation.

Closing this in favour of two more detailed issues which should cover the use cases mentioned here:
