As per @alexpavel, there is nothing native built into the UI to allow you to do this.

However, there are specific API's available for doing ALM syncs, and it is possible to configure a script to perform a sync on a model, and trigger that from a dashboard. There is a very good post published on this topic here: https://community.anaplan.com/t5/How-To/ALM-APIs-This-is-how-we-use-it/ta-p/123926. I recommend reading through it to get a better understanding of the capabilities of the API.

As you go down the path of building something like this, the Developer Persona Hub on Community is a good collection of resources.

1) ALM can be accessed only from the "Manage Models" section and it cannot be published in a Dashboard

2) All workspace admins that have access to the PROD model, can launch ALM. Only the access to a model can be restricted. For example: not all the WSA users can have access to a particular PROD model. This way only the WSA users that have access to PROD model can launch ALM.

Hope it helps
