Deploy dashboards for users

Post by snapon_admin »

Would it be possible to give users the ability to deploy dashboards to other users? Currently only admins can do this, but we've had a few cases of users creating dashboards that they'd like to deploy to other members of their teams. Right now the only way we've been able to do that is to have me make that user an admin, masquerade as that user, deploy the dashboard to the second user, log back in as me, and then change the first user back to a regular user account.

This is not currently supported, but we could possibly implement a "share dashboard" functionality. Care to weigh in one what features would be nice in this?

Sure! A share option would be perfect.

Features to add to current deploy dashboard options:

* Available to all users
* Select/Deselect all options (both for dashboards and users)
* Share with contact group option (shares dashboard with all users in specific contact groups)
* Notification/Confirmations system - User A shares dashboard D1 with User B and User B receives a notification with options to confirm or deny if they want to add D1 to their dashboards. Not sure how possible this one would be, it just sounds like it'd be handy
* Give the user receiving the dashboard the option to keep synced with original dashboard or not
