i dont know the answer for sure. i just had an idea for ya.

for our custom dashlets we made in Alfresco 3.4.5 we made some webscript style *.desc.xml description files. i think a dashlet is technically a "presentation webscript"

i did notice that the webscript description files support authentication.


<!– some-script.get.desc.xml –>
<webscript>
…
   <authentication>admin</authentication>
…
</webscript>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

maybe give that a whirl and see if the Share UI will filter out dashlets that the user isnt authenticated to use.

there might be usefull

good luck
