Hi

Is there a way to prevent the option of download as csv/excel from being displayed in dashboard?

We have data that is OK to present in a widget but we dont want anyone with access to the dashboard to also have the option to download the data.

Is this possible?

No. And I doubt we will add it, as it provides false sense of security – the API still sends a JSON representation of the data. So the user can always get the results in an easy to read format. That beside the fact that they can just copy/paste from the screen.

Thanks for the response.

This prevents non-technical people from thinking about downloading all the data from redash and make them switch to other solutions

Generally speaking more flexibility is better than less. This is a good feature idea. But it hasn’t been contributed by anyone in the community and is not a priority for the core team.

Redash is an OSS tool. If people want to take the data to a different tool we can presume it’s because that tool is a better fit for their needs. We want to know what we can do to make Redash better for more use-cases. But we’re not trying to prevent anyone from accessing / working with their data.
