Dashboards for each department.

I'd like to create departmental roll accounts (Eg: NOC, NMC, Engineering) with their own Dashboard views. I've installed the Dashboard Deployment Component and have some questions.
1. After deploying a Dashboard to users, how do you administratively view who has access to it and or remove this "permission"?
2. If I create a Dashboard for my users, I do not want them to edit it. How do you prevent a user from deleting dashlets from a Dashboard that was deployed to them?
We're currently in the evaluation stage of Nagio XI and this may be a deal breaker if cannot be done.

Dashboards are intended to be configured per-user, so each user can control what is on their own dashboard, currently there isn't a way to enforce permissions on them.
The granular permissions are more for the hosts and services and who has permissions to view them and send commands and such.

Understood.
I've read the Admin documentation on Dashboards and Views and they sound almost identical. Views seem to contain multiple Dashboards and Dashboards are a single instance. Perhaps you can explain the key differences between the two and their intended function?

Views can essentially include ANY page in XI, or even external pages in the rotation, whereas dashboards can only contain dashlets. A user's view rotation can add any URL to it. Hope that helps!

I would like to be able to restrict a user to view only certain hosts or services.
giving a user, X, only user access and nothing else, seems to be pretty pointless as the user X can't then see anything. Is it possible to have more granular control?
it would be awesome if we could say that this user can see all the services for a particular host (or host group) and not others.

Just create a Dashboard and share it using the Dashboard Deployment Tool, make sure sync is turned on though.
