Dashboard Privacy and Access Control

By default, Checkly dashboards are public and accessible to anyone with the URL. You can restrict access by enabling password protection or Checkly account authentication.
Plan Requirements: Private dashboards are available on Team and Enterprise plans. Checkly account login is exclusive to Enterprise customers.

Important: We don’t store passwords in plaintext. If lost, you’ll need to generate a new password and update all users with the new credentials.

​
Accessing Protected Dashboards

Protected dashboards work with both access methods: Password Authentication (Team and Enterprise plans)
  • Available on custom domains and default https://[dashboardId].checkly-dashboards.com URLs
  • Use the generated password to access the dashboard
Checkly Account Login (Enterprise only)
  • Available only on default https://[dashboardId].checkly-dashboards.com URLs
  • Click “Login with Checkly” and sign in with your existing account
  • Supports all authentication methods (Google, GitHub, username/password)
Remember that dashboards are public by default. Always review which checks and data you’re exposing before sharing dashboard URLs with external audiences.
