Enabling or disabling features via Feature flags

For each embed user you can, at any point in time, enable or disable several features related to dashboards, datasets, and editing dashboards in the Embedded Dashboard Editor. All these feature flags can be enabled or disabled within the API authorization request, to retrieve the desired embed token for your user.

const Luzmo = require('@luzmo/nodejs-sdk');
var client = new Luzmo({
    api_key: '< Your API key >',
    api_token: '< Your API token >'
  });

let promise = client.create('authorization', {
  type: 'embed',
  username: '12345678',
  suborganization: 'Burrito Co.',
  name: 'Embed user',
  email : 'embed_user@example.com',
  access: {
    collections: [
    {
      id: '< collection ID>',
       inheritRights: 'use'
            }
      ]
  },
  role: 'designer',
  feature_overrides: ['!flag_alerting', 'flag_opendataboard']
});

promise.then(function(result){
  // return result.id and result.token to the client
})

const Luzmo = require('@luzmo/nodejs-sdk');
var client = new Luzmo({
    api_key: '< Your API key >',
    api_token: '< Your API token >'
  });

let promise = client.update('user', '<your user id>',
{
  feature_overrides: ['!flag_alerting']
});

General feature flags

The feature flags below target general features which may benefit user experience.

Editor-related feature flags

The feature flags related to the editor have been subdivided into sets of flags that touch datasets, dashboards, and editor UI elements.

Dataset-related feature flags

Dashboard-related feature flags

• The data side menu opens by default when opening a dashboard. If flag_side_menu_data is disabled, a different side menu section that is still accessible will open.
• If all 4 flag_side_menu_xxxx flags and flag_commenting are disabled, the side menu will be closed when opening a dashboard because none of the sections are accessible.

UI-related feature flags

Custom datasource feature flags

All feature flags mentioned below target specific data sources. Note that every flag below, except for "flag_local_upload", has been disabled by default, as most users do not require their own connections to be added.

In case there are other features you would like to toggle for (certain) users, do not hesitate to use our Public roadmap's "Submit an idea" button, and explain which use-case you want to implement and why it is important to you! 😊
