Managing dashboard and dashboard folder permissions

Dashboard Settings Permissions

To manage the permissions of dashboards and dashboard folders, you must have Administer permission.

Users' access to dashboards is controlled through membership of roles. By default, role permissions that are granted on a dashboard catalog are inherited by the folders below it, and by the dashboards and objects that they contain. So, if a role has Edit permission on the dashboard catalog then all users within that role can edit every dashboard. You can manually add or remove permissions on a particular folder or dashboard. In doing so, you break the inheritance from the dashboard catalog. Typically you edit permissions on folders, not on individual dashboards or objects.

Click Dashboards on the toolbar.
Click the Settings icon of the dashboard or folder to manage.
If you change the permissions on a folder, the permissions are inherited by all subfolders and dashboards within it.
Click Permissions.
The Permissions dialog box displays the roles that have been created for the dashboard catalog. By default, roles inherit their permissions from the dashboard catalog.
To assign or withdraw permissions manually, select or clear the check boxes.
If you change a permission manually, the Inherited From field is cleared and the Restore inheritance button is enabled. Click Restore inheritance to restore inheritance of permissions from the dashboard catalog.
