I have the same issue as teh OP, and I don't think this is working properly.  Here is my use case.

1.  I have created a content pack and made it available to approved users.

2.  The user connects to the content pack

3. The user copys the dashboard (and hence reports and data sets).

4.  The user modifies the reports and dashboards in their own local copy of the content pack.

5.  The user cannot share this copy of the content pack as it says they are not the owner.  "You don't have permissions to share this dashboard".  

 

There are no settings I can see that allow the creator of the content pack to give permissions for people to share copies.  So how can someone share their ad hoc work?

    I have the exact problem. Moreover the original owner cant share it either. Microsoft, where are you?

      Not the idea fix, but add the dashboard to your favourites and then share from there.
