Hi - my terminology was vague/incorrect. What I should have said that I wanted to post various Dashboard subscriptions to a website that was widely accessible. 

We use a setup where all our non-RTadmin users are non-privileged. These users create new tickets via the RT SelfServe interface. Once the ticket is created, they can correspond either rt-mailgate and/or the SelfServe interface. I wanted non-technical group managers and some other (RT non-privileged) staff to be able to access dashboards showing open/resolved tickets for their groups/queues. I played around with all manner of Group Rights and User Rights and was unable to grant non-privileged, SelfServe users the rights to access custom dashboards. So I ended up creating a script to take the Dashboard subscription and post it as a webpage for these users to access if they needed to.
