Overview

Datadog is removing support for the is_read_only attribute in the Dashboards API’s. For customers who manage Dashboards with the API directly, Datadog recommends that you transition to restricted_roles or Restriction Policies.

Actions to take

Migrate off of is_read_only to restricted_roles or consider participating in Preview for Restriction Policies.

Migrate to restricted_roles

The restricted_roles parameter allows Dashboard owners to assign specific permissions to users with roles.

Migrating to restricted_roles can be done independently. For more information, see the Dashboard API documentation.

Restriction Policies

Restriction Policies for Dashboards defines the access control rules for a resource. It maps a set of relations (editor and viewer) to a set of allowed principals (roles, teams, or users).

To participate in the beta for Restriction Policies, reach out to Datadog Support or your Customer Success Manager to enable Restriction Policies for Dashboards for your organization.

If you’re managing Dashboards through Terraform:

1. Ensure that you’re using Datadog Terraform Provider v3.27.0 or higher.
2. Remove is_read_only and restricted_role from your Dashboard Terraform resources.
3. Create a new datadog_restriction_policy resource, referencing the respective Dashboard id and principals from the recently removed attributes.
4. Run terraform apply.

For an example of a Terraform resources, see the guide on How to use Terraform to restrict the editing of a dashboard.
