"This dashboard is read only"

Hi,

 

PBI message.PNGI did a Dashboard that nobody have access to (for now).  I was working with it this monring without issue later, around noon, it started to say : "This dashboard is read only.  Your changes will not be saved"

 

Can someone help me understand why I'm getting the attached message and how to fix?

@jogutier If you are trying to access a shared dashboard, it will be read-only. Find the symbol for shared dashboard as shown below

@jogutier This is a dashboard that you own? Not shared with you?... That warning is indicative of the dashboard being shared with you, not one that you own...
