Using Import and Export REST API's does Access Management Carry over?

Hello DRay​ and friends,

I am curious if I use REST API endpoints like /dashbaords/import/bulk is there a parameter to setup access management or do I have to set this up every time I import a dashboard to my Prod env. from my Dev env.? 

Is there a way to get around this when dealing with import and exporting from Dev to Prod? 

For example, say I have a dashboard in Prod with whom I have shared the Dashboard with User A, User B, and Group Sisense. When I import a dashboard that overrides this dashboard does the access management stay the same or do I have to add User A, User B and Group Sisense back to the access management?

    Hey Astroraf​ ,

    If I am not mistaken, when overwriting a dashboard it will keep its current access rules. When creating a new dashboard with an import, it will lose its access rules and you have to import them via a different api.
