Dashboard & Folder Permissions

For dashboards and dashboard folders there is a Permissions page that make it possible to remove the default role based permissions for Editors and Viewers. On this page you can add and assign permissions to specific Users and Teams.

Permission levels:

• Edit: Can edit & create dashboards. Cannot edit folder/dashboard permissions.
• View: Can only view existing dashboards/folders.

• You cannot override permissions for users with the Org Admin Role. Admins always have access to everything.
• A more specific permission with a lower permission level will not have any effect if a more general rule exists with higher permission level. You need to remove or lower the permission level of the more general rule.
