As of this morning all dashboard pages that I’ve created require a wixUser login. And even after login all the dataset code I’ve used breaks on any $event… Not in the editor though… Everything works fine in the editor. Same on multiple sites.
There is no wixUser content or code involved on any of the Dashboard pages… Just content data w/ ‘anybody’ permissions.
Is this just my browser settings?
Hi,
as it used to work previously and now it’s not, looks like an unexpected behavior.
Please contact wix support here: https://support.wix.com/en/article/contacting-wix-support
In your ticket, please include a clear description of the issue, current vs expected behavior and a screenshot of the issue.
Arthur, providing you are actuallly talking about Dashboard pages as here.

Then people will get the login window if they don’t have a Members Area on their site or they are not the Site Admin or designated Site Contributors and therefore do not have the right permissions to view the page.
It will work fine in the Wix Editor as it is being run as Admin in preview mode.
However, without any website links or screenshots to look at, Aleks and myself can’t say if we are talking about the same thing as we have nothing to go on or see.
From linked page above:
Dashboard pages use the same settings as any other page on your site, including the look and feel, except for the following:
They do not have headers or footers.
They do not have a Login Bar (if you have added a Members Area to your site).
They are hidden from your site menu but you can add them manually if you want (see note below).
Functionally, Dashboard pages support the same options as any other page on your site. You can:
Add datasets and connect them to page elements.
View, add, and update information in your Live database.
Write code that runs on your Dashboard pages.
Link from Dashboard pages to regular pages and from regular pages to Dashboard pages (see note).
Notes:
If you link from a regular page or your site’s menu to a Dashboard page, only your contributors will be able to access that page. Anyone else will get a login page instead.
If you link from a Dashboard page to a regular page, it will open in your Dashboard unless you set the link to open in a new page.
You cannot convert a regular page to a Dashboard page or a Dashboard page to a regular page.
Thank you for the help and detailed replies.
I’m certain that we are all talking about the same dashboard pages. And I do understand the nature of them handling permissions differently than a normal page. Switching between dashboard pages (from within the Wix stock Dashboard menu) prompts login every time, even though I’m permanently logged in as admin/owner. Where, for days while setting up, it did not do that.
All of my code works fine until I try to write something to a dataset… After that, my data seems to loose it’s connection. (Again, same behavior on multiple dashboard pages, each using different data).
I ended up creating some Admin only site pages that do the same thing. Using the same code and data on the site works just fine… Plus, I can access it on mobile (so worked out better in the end).
…Still not sure what to make of the Dashboard pages though.
