Set dashboard permissions
Azure DevOps Server 2019
As a member of the Project Administrators group, you can set the default dashboard permissions for all teams within the project. This allows you to establish a consistent set of permissions across the entire project, ensuring that all teams adhere to the same standards.
As a team or project administrator, you have the flexibility to set individual dashboard permissions for team members. This enables you to tailor permissions based on the specific needs and roles of each team member. These permissions only impact the team members and their respective team dashboards, allowing for granular control over who can edit, delete, or manage dashboards.
By configuring these permissions, you ensure that only authorized users can make changes to dashboards, maintaining the integrity and organization of your project data.
For more information about adding and viewing dashboards, see Add, rename, and delete dashboards.
Tip
If a user reports that they can't create or edit a team dashboard despite having the necessary permissions, ensure they are added as a member of the team. This includes adding them as a member of the default project team. For more information, see Add users to a project or specific team.
