To Pin a visual in dashboard the user would require atleast contributer role

Hello,
Unfortunately, this is still the case.
We don't want users with a viewer role to be able to modify standardized and published reports. However, they should still be able to pin existing visuals to a dashboard.

I would greatly appreciate it if this could be changed in the future.

Or is there already a workaround available?

Hi, @poli361 
As mentioned by @arvindsingh802 , role of Viewer does not have any permission to edit dashboard, and the user needs to be assigned the role of Contributor role at least.
