Redash: Dashboard refresh query result needs view_query permission

[loskultos]

Issue Summary

Dashboard widgets refresh functionality only works when the user has view_query permission. view_query permission allows the user to see the query source

Expected Behavior

When the user has execute_query permission the refresh in the dashboard widgets should work without the user be able to acutally see the query source - so shouldn't need the view_query permission.

Technical details:

• Redash Version: 4.0.1+b4038

l cannot set time to refresh dashboard widgets. when l click '1 minute' button, it works. but if l refresh website(F5),the setting is from "1 minute" to "Refresh".

Does this bug cause ?

We also need this fixed to make the new Redash available for our customers. It's not acceptable that they see the insides of our DB.

Also blocked by this issue, I'm preparing a demo for a potential client, and I need refresh without letting him see the queries.

@guzhenping that's a different issue and it's pretty much how the dashboard refresh works at the moment. It's a "frontend" refresh so refreshing or restarting the browser will get this schedule lost. We'll change this behaviour in the future and this will be saved somehow.

@kocsmy get it ! thank you

Is there a workaround for this bug? Refresh should be independent of the view_query permission, otherwise it's not possible to provide read-only dashboards for customers.

We also need that.

Some people should be able to run a query with different parameters, but should not be able to change the sql query.

We've started a project to redo permissions in Redash, which will also address this use case. To follow along you can watch #3284.
