Enhanced security

You can activate or deactivate enhanced security by clicking the Change security button. Enhanced security for dashboards prevents potentially malicious scripts from being loaded from other websites or potentially malicious code from being executed in dashboard elements. Please note that this means that certain functions will not be available, such as embedding maps or websites that require a login (including internal GridVis pages). Before deactivating this protection mechanism, make sure that the code used has been implemented by trustworthy persons and does not represent a threat. After you have activated or deactivated enhanced security, the S GridVis service is automatically restarted to apply the change.
