Let me re-assign dashboard ownership

Completed


Posted Feb 11, 2021

I would like to be able to hand over ownership of a dashboard. For example, if I am a backend builder, I shouldn’t be the owner of the dashboards I build out for each team lead. I’d like to have team leads own the dashboards I build for them, so that the "owned" dashboard section is useful/meaningful for them.

Thank you for your feedback regarding the ownership of dashboards built with Explore.
We understand how important it is to control your dashboards, especially when someone leaves the company.

I am glad to share that we have shipped a feature to empower admins to see and edit all dashboards, regardless of who created them.

This feature is available in the "All" tab of the dashboard library and is accessible to admins only. You can learn more about this feature here.

Regards,
Walter

Hi 4543357495706 ! Thank you for sharing the update release for the View All feature. I do still think the ability to change ownership of dashboards is a needed feature as well even more since dashboards cannot be scheduled in definitely  (given the dashboard builder update) as they used to be and the appropriate owner will receive the notification of expiring dashboard schedules.

This is clearly a much requested feature and does not appear that it should be difficult to implement.  As many noted, cloning a dashboard does not always create what we need.  Please add this to your roadmap!

+1 We really need this feature to get added. As companies grown employees move and we have lost access to some very necessary dashboards. I came on as an admin and do not have access to even view dashboards that were once built by people who left the company.

Even though the work around is to clone the original dashboard by the new owner to get the ownership, this would not be feasible always especially if multiple dashboards need to have the ownership change. I doubt the business teams would have enough time to perform this kind of workaround.

Hence I strongly request Zendesk product team to incorporate the ownership transfer admin feature with multiple dashboards selection.

I have been trying for over a month to ask Zendesk Support to change ownership on dashboards. I have been unable in this time, to get a direct answer if they can even do this for an account. Cloning is not a solution for me because that does not share the clone with the same people, and changes the links, which are already widely shared. I just need to change ownership. :(
