Give access to role to edit dashboards and reports but not to save them

User_O735C

There is a requirement for our Data Analysts & Superusers to have the functionality of editing a dashboard (pencil icon to edit a dashboard available) but not be able to save. This would assist both in troubleshooting analyses together with empowering them with the knowledge of how a particular dashboard was configured. The associated shared folders have been granted open permissions. The user group(s) who require this functionality have more than BI Consumer access they have BI Author access - essentially 1st Line support … However while they have BI Author access we still dont want them saving prebuilt Dashboards. So yes we require them to have the functionality of saving but not editing.

Welcome to the community, @User_O735C!
Would you consider them having the ability to save as, but not save over the dashboard?
If so, check out this blog:

Thank you for your response. I have reviewed the document and yes we would like to investigate this further, however it is observed that "Scenario 3: I want to be able to save as, but not save over" from the document screenshot has been extracted from ORACLE Analytics Cloud technology release. We are running On Premise OAS2024 and I do not seem to have a Share Tab, I see only a General and Access Tab. Is this feature "Share" not available on OAS2024? Thanks in advance Jackie
