Hello ,
I am currently searching for a way to give permissions to viewers to pin visuals , create dashboards , but I don't want to give them more permissions .
Is there a way to do it ?
Thank you in advance
Solved! Go to Solution.
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.
