  4. You will see the list of all project admin users and groups

  6. Remember to SAVE (near the bottom of the page)

Who can restrict dashboards?

  • Only project admins can restrict dashboards

What kind of dashboard permissions are available:

  • View only
  • View and edit

Which users can I add as part of dashboard permissions?

  • Only project members. If you want to a user who is not a member of the current project, you first need to add him to the project

What happens when I restrict the dashboard, but don't add any additional users?

  • Then only admin users can view (and edit) this dashboard
  • Project members and readers have neither view nor edit access

User operations (adding, deleting, changing membership)

Project level operations

What happens when a user is added to a project after a dashboard has been restricted?

  • Nothing happens if the new user is a reader or member
  • If it's an admin user, he is added to all the restricted dashboards on that project

What happens when you upgrade the membership of a user in a project after he's been explicitly added to the dashboard permissions?

  • The permission falls back to the default permission (as if the dashboard was unrestricted, see the list above)
  • Examples:
    • downgrading an admin user (view&edit) to member user (view&edit) doesn't change anything
    • upgrading a reader (view only) to an admin (view&edit) will cause an upgrade in permissions

Server level operations

What happens when you add a new user on the server level?

  • If this is an admin server user, he is automatically added to all projects as an admin - and thus also on all restricted dashboards
  • For other roles, nothing happens

What happens when you upgrade/downgrade the user on a server level?
