How to make someone who has edit-access to my dashboard, able to share it to somebody else?

We have read-access, we have edit-access, we have 'change owner' too.

But do we have something like 'add owner'?

Right now, it seems like edit-access only allow recipients to edit my dashboard tiles but doesn't allow them to share read-access and/or edit-access to more people.

If only owner can add more people to the dashboard, 'change owner' doesn't make much sense either....... 🤔🤔🤔

I think what we need is a way to 'add owner', else might as well remove the 'change owner'.

'cause to be honest, I don't really see what could be the uses of 'change owner' other than inviting more questions from customer (like for example, this question I am asking now)

But of course, if any fellow community member has ever come into any situation where this comes in handy, or any comment, do share it it here! Greatly appreciate.

Hello @waikeat_chan 🙂

Currently, it’s not possible in Dynatrace to change or add owners for a dashboard. Even though you can grant or revoke read or edit access (including assigning edit rights to specific user groups), the ownership itself can’t be transferred or shared with multiple co-owners.

Here’s how most organizations work around this limitation:

Share the dashboard in read-only mode with a broader audience if needed.
Grant edit access (to individuals or groups) for those who need to update or maintain the dashboard.

If your team truly needs co-ownership or a formal ownership transfer process, there is an existing product enhancement request in the Dynatrace Community: Dashboard is not sharable other than the Owner. Feel free to vote or comment on it to help prioritize this feature!

From an operational standpoint, the administrator of the tenant should have permission to view, edit, and delete any dashboard or notebook, regardless of ownership. Without this capability, the administrator cannot maintain proper governance, standardization, or consumption control—especially when private notebooks can execute high-cost DQL queries. The administrator must have full authority over these artifacts.
