Disable the edit setting for read-only user while accessing tiles in Dashboards app

Hello Everyone,

I have created a group and assigned permissions to it, allowing users to access the new dashboard app. However, we have encountered some issues with the read-only access that outweigh the benefits.

Problems:

Tile Editing:

Users with read-only access are still able to edit the tiles on our dashboard. How can we restrict this capability?

Access to Dashboard Settings and Variables:

Users can access the settings of individual dashboards and view the variables. How can we disable this feature for users with read-only access?

Policy:

ALLOW app-engine:apps:run WHERE shared:app-id = "dynatrace.dashboards";

ALLOW app-engine:functions:run, app-engine:edge-connects:read,
document:environment-shares:read, document:direct-shares:read, state:user-app-states:read, storage:events:read,
state:user-app-states:write,
storage:logs:read, storage:metrics:read, storage:entities:read,
storage:bizevents:read, storage:system:read, storage:spans:read, storage:buckets:read, storage:fieldsets:read,
storage:bucket-definitions:read, document:documents:read;

Please let me know if anyone has any idea, we want to provide the access to internal-people with very limited access.

Best regards,

One of the Primary issues that I ran into is the fact that "Documents" covers a multitude of things like the LaunchPads, Notebooks, Dashboards etc, and I was limited in isolating out which particular document to allow the deny to edit launchpads but allowing edit to Dashboards.

So as it is when I tested it out, its either edit them or not. My hope is the granularity expands.
