Create and Manage Custom Dashboards

Custom Dashboards provide a toolbox for building your own visual interface around Harness data using flexible filtering and criteria. By creating and fine-tuning visualizations that slice and dice your data, you can identify and optimize:

  • Development and deployment velocity
  • Bottlenecks
  • Rollback durations and other useful metrics

Before You Begin​

Review: Permissions​

A Harness user's interaction with Custom Dashboards is role-based. Options depend on their membership in a Harness User Group with specific Account Permissions.

To create and manage Custom Dashboards, your Harness User Group must have the following Account Permissions:

  • Create Custom Dashboards
  • Manage Custom Dashboards

Without these permissions, you can still view and operate on a dashboard that has been shared with you.

For more information, see Manage Groups and Permissions.
