Embed Mode vs Embed Dashboard
Velane supports two embed experiences that look similar but serve different goals.
Quick comparison
| Experience | Primary use | Typical audience | Token |
|---|---|---|---|
| Admin embed mode | Restricted admin-style experience | Internal power users | et_... |
| Embed dashboard | Read-only iframe viewer | External stakeholders/customers | et_... |
Admin embed mode
- Entry is through the admin app flow
- Useful when you still want parts of the management-oriented interface
- Some sensitive sections remain hidden
Embed dashboard
- Standalone read-only dashboard for embedding
- Best for product/customer-facing visibility views
- Focuses on viewing snippet state, not platform administration
Which one should you choose?
- choose admin embed mode for internal operational viewers
- choose embed dashboard for customer-facing or low-risk viewing access
Security guidance
- use short TTL embed tokens
- rotate and revoke tokens when access changes
- prefer least privilege and minimal exposure
