Hello,

Version: OSS

Is it possible to remove the login screen and have a default read-only user? This was suggest 5 years ago in this [post](https://community.influxdata.com/t/anonymous-read-access-to-influxdb/1007). Has the ability been added to V2.x?

Many Thanks,

Archie

Hello @ArchieC,

It hasn’t. I would like to encourage you to create a feature request here: [GitHub - influxdata/ui: UI for InfluxDB](https://github.com/influxdata/ui)

May I ask why do you want this feature?

Hi Anaisdg,

Thanks for confirming that, I’ll make a feature request.

We want this feature as we are currently using Influx to store and display test data. This feature would make it easier to just share a link to a dashboard to any of my colleagues without having to provide them with login information. We are also going to be setting up a display that would be attached to our test rig that would have dashboard permanently displayed. I can imagine removing the login screen would make that setup more reliable.

Hope that makes sense.

Edit: [I’ve created a request.](https://github.com/influxdata/ui/issues/3929)

Many thanks,

Archie

@ArchieC  
You can do this with notebooks and i believe the feature is coming to dashboards too:

> **[Manage notebooks | InfluxDB Cloud Documentation](https://docs.influxdata.com/influxdb/cloud/notebooks/manage-notebooks/#share-a-notebook)**
>
> View, update, share, and delete notebooks.

@Anaisdg  
Thanks for the reply. This seems to be feature of InfluxDB Cloud and not InfluxDB OSS which I am using. But thanks for letting me know.
