Hello,

I'm currently working on automating the export of all dashboards into a single file for bulk restoration, as well as exporting individual dashboards for more targeted restores. This process is scheduled to run nightly in QuickBuild. A similar approach is also being applied to user permissions.

Do you have any suggestions or best practices for handling this?

Thank you in advance,
ptrinh

You may consider to use RESTful API to import/export the dashboards:

For user permission, you may also consider to use RESTful API:

Thank you for promptly response and the information, Steve!
Can I interact with dashboards in Groovy instead of REST APIs?

Hi Phong, yes, of cause you can use Groovy script to do the job.

For example, to list all Dashboard:

DashboardManager.instance.getAll()

to get a specific Dashboard with id = 123:
var dashboard = DashboardManager.instance.get(123)

to save:
DashboardManager.instance.save(dashboard)

You may refer to the QuickBuild source code for more.
