Creating a Dashboard needs edit-permission, why?
Super UserHi. I'm sorry but I don't think you will get an answer here about why a feature was developed like that in a forum. We can "guess" why it make sense for us, but it won't be the real reason.
I think it make sense to keep it this way. The idea is always to make reductions and let data become information in a place that works the same for everybody. Otherwise each user will make mistakes and have different numbers. In addition, keeping in the same workspace help on a security stand point to understand what contentn and users are in there.
Again, that's a thought. I hope you can make sense of answers we might write.

I couldn't agree more, especially with the bolded section of your answer.
That's the thing, why make the very useful feature sort of "crippled" ? I as a report developer am not keen on giving the users additional permissions just because I want them to be able to collect the things they want to a single, personal dashboard. With the extra permissions, they can misclick and delete the whole report or edit the report to an unusable state.
Maybe it's just me and everybody is nodding like "well yes, this was exactly what we wanted, what is this guy whining about"
