====== Dashboard Permissions ======
  Dashboard permissions enable control over who can view, edit, and administrate dashboards.

===== Overview =====

  * There are three types of authorizations:

^ View | Allows visualization and interaction with dashboard components such as widgets, variables, and time selectors. |
^ Edit | Enables modification, addition, or removal of any dashboard component, including widgets and variables. |
^ Administrate | Provides privileges to delete dashboards or modify ownership and permissions. |

  * These authorizations are determined by the level of permission assigned to the dashboard:

^ Permission ^ View ^ Edit ^ Administrate ^
^ PUBLIC | Everyone | Everyone | Owner & Admins |
^ RESTRICTED | Everyone | Owner & Admins | Owner & Admins |
^ PRIVATE | Owner | Owner | Owner |

  * The RESTRICTED permission is automatically applied to new dashboards.

===== Custom Permissions =====

  * Greater permission levels can be granted to specific groups of users.
  * For example:
    * Set a dashboard to PRIVATE.
    * Assign the RESTRICTED permission to an Authorization Profile named ''Dashboard Viewers''.
    * Consequently, only the owner and members of the ''Dashboard Viewers'' profile can access the dashboard.

==== Adding a Custom Permission ====

  * Click ''Add Permission'' and select an existing profile.
  * Choose the associated permission.
  * Multiple profiles with different permissions can be added.

**Warning:**
  * It is not possible to reduce permissions for a group below the default dashboard permission level.
  * If a dashboard is public, preventing a group from viewing or editing the dashboard is not possible.
