How can a user override certain dashboard settings?

To override certain dashboard settings, a user must hold specific permissions that allow for more granular control over dashboard elements. Acquiring end or widget authoring permissions is essential because these permissions grant the user the authority to modify and customize dashboards beyond the basic settings, enabling them to not only change the dashboard layout but also to adjust individual widgets within it.

Having editing rights for dashboards can provide some level of modification capability, but it may not encompass the full range of override options available through end or widget authoring permissions. Creating multiple dashboards can help in presenting different views or data, but it does not allow for overrides in the settings of existing dashboards. Sharing the dashboard is a collaborative feature that facilitates distribution but does not influence the settings of the dashboard itself.

Therefore, acquiring dashboard end or widget authoring permissions is the most direct approach to override certain settings effectively, giving the user the flexibility to tailor the dashboard as needed for their specific use case.
