Limited 'Filter' bar that only allows for deselection of enabled filters

[ifrimere]

Feature Description

Provide an embed filter option that only allows for selected filters to be displayed and cleared AND will not display the '+Add filters' capability.

Feature Use Case

• We use Kibana Dashboard embeds in our client facing portal
• We want our clients to be able to interact with the visualizations and filter by selection of items BUT
• We don't want our clients to have access to all the 'Add Filter' pulldown options
• We want a new Embed/Filter option to enable for Embeds that only allows for 'de-selection' of filters

Hey @ifrimere ! Perhaps another way to solve for this UX is to provide toggle-able, non-editable filters. In that way the user can only remove or add the filters captured in the embed.

Would that also solve your use case?

@jloleysens - Curious what the UX/UI implementation would be for your suggestion, both for the 'admin' (defining the embed rules) and the customer consuming the Dashboards, but your idea sounds about right. Thanks.

Taking a step back, is this even something the filter bar should do or is it more of a use case for controls on a dashboard? https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/master/add-controls.html

Can you elaborate Joe? From my understanding the request is:

• When I embed my dashboard I want to see the filter badges that are created when you click a viz but I dont want to see the add new filters

Right now in order to be able to see the filter basges you have to select the Filter bar option which comes with the add filter button. I think they want to distinguish these two.

Good point, missed the part about retaining the filter-by-click logic. Makes sense under this consideration.

This also dips a little bit into the Controls X Unified search initiative. Right now the Controls are very non-integrated with all of the systems of Kibana, especially drilldowns and UI actions. Keeping Controls and unified search as two competing systems means that we'd have to provide a plethora of various patching behaviours and settings to integrate Controls with the rest of Kibana.

Hi Team,
Is this issue still opened or it's fixed?
Since I am facing the same issue

@Sujith1930 - this issue is not quite fixed yet.

That said. I'm closing this in favour of #170448 as we could fulfill this request by allowing chart brushing to add controls selections instead. Then these selections would be clearable, and the unified search bar could remain hidden. You can follow along for updates on that issue instead.
