Dashboards Security
Once a dashboard is opened by a system user, all its elements inherit launching user's permissions. The permissions of dashboard owner user and users owning particular dashboard elements (e.g. widgets) are ignored.
For example, if user Joe opens a dashboard owned by the default administrator, dashboard elements will have Joe's limited permissions. However, if the administrator opens any of Joe's dashboards, the dashboard and its elements will have unrestricted permissions, introducing potential security risk if Joe is not a trusted user.
