One of the most popular use cases for anonymous access is when you embed {kib} into other applications and don't want to force your users to log in to view it. If you configured {kib} to use anonymous access as the sole authentication mechanism, you don't need to do anything special while embedding {kib}.

If you have multiple authentication providers enabled, and you want to automatically log in anonymous users when embedding dashboards and visualizations, then toggle *Public URL* in the *Share > Embed code* menu in *Dashboard* or *Visualize*.

You can also use the *Public URL* toggle when you're generating permanent links to dashboards, visualizations, and saved searches.

NOTE: The *Public URL* toggle is only available if anonymous access is properly configured and your anonymous service account has privileges to access what you want to embed or share.

If you have multiple authentication providers enabled, and you want to automatically log in anonymous users when embedding, then you will need to manually modify the {kib} URL in the iframe code. For more information, refer to <<embedding, Embed {kib} content in a web page>>.
