Dashboard ownership changed to group losing the share and delete rights

Hello,

I am working on a use case to transfer the ownership of a dashboard and was curious about what happens when the ownership is transferred to a group instead of a user.

On the UI, the search only returned users and service users, making the change ownership restricted to users. But on the Swagger API, I tried using the id of a group and the API retruned a success message and the ownership was updated to the group id.

I am part of the group and tried to check the dashboard for share or delete option but it did not work.(Something expected but was expecting an error on the API call)

Group ownership might be an interesting way to avoid loss of dashboard when individuals leave or may be not loss but better maintenance of dashboards.

How can I become the owner again for the dashboard to be able to share/delete the dashboard?

Add you use case to this product idea.
Regarding your problem, did you try to use Swagger to update the user ID owner?

I was able to update the owner user id to an actual user using the swagger api using the admin-access feature.
