How do I integrate an InfoDesk Dashboard on an external website?

Last updated on June 27, 2024

A dashboard from your InfoDesk portal can be integrated into an external website, e.g., your intranet.

For the integration to work, you need an authentication mechanism. There are two options:

• Single sign-on (SSO)
• Key authentication

SSO Authentication (recommended)

A prerequisite for SSO authentication is that a single sign-on (SSO) is set up between the external website and InfoDesk.

The user will be logged on with a personal account and can view content corresponding to the content the user has access to in InfoDesk. Therefore, various users will see different content on the same dashboard.

Key Authentication

A prerequisite for key authentication is that a dedicated dashboard user is set up with a generated key.

The person viewing the dashboard will be authenticated as a shared dashboard user and will have limited interaction possibilities. All persons viewing a key-authenticated dashboard will see the same content.

Read more about key authentication and how to generate an authentication key in:
InfoDesk > Dashboards > Settings > Embed dashboard > Key authentication > Generate Key
