Embed Metabase dashboards with signed tokens and locked parameters
EmbedPortal uses Metabase static embedding. It signs a short-lived token for each viewer and locks parameters such as customer ID from their group, so a viewer cannot change the URL to see someone else's data.
How to embed Metabase
Most teams finish these steps in under an hour.
Enable static embedding
In Metabase admin settings, turn on static embedding and copy the embedding secret key.
Connect Metabase
Add your Metabase site URL and secret key under Integrations, then click Test.
Publish the dashboard for embedding
In Metabase, enable embedding on the dashboard and mark the parameters you want locked.
Map locked parameters
Match each locked parameter, such as customer_id, to an RLS key in EmbedPortal.

Why teams embed Metabase with EmbedPortal
Metabase static embedding is simple, but you still need to sign tokens on a server and decide which customer is which. EmbedPortal does both.
That gives you secure, per-customer Metabase dashboards without writing a token service or a login page.
