Bug: Co-ownership via AD group fails | Product Feedback Forum

Details below. I'd like to know: (a) Can we get a fix in a future version of Sisense? (b) Do other users and Sisense tech get the same issue? (c) Any advice other than my workaround? Try the following: 1. Co-Authoring enabled. Sisense version L2025.2.0.510 2. UserU1 from Active Directory (via LDAP). Within Active Directory, UserU1 is a member of GroupG1. Within Sisense, UserU1 has the Admin role (I haven't checked if role matters). 3. UserU1 creates DashboardD1. 4. UserU1 makes the Sisense Sysadmin and GroupG1 co-owners of DashboardD1, and removes themselves from the list of shares. Expected behaviour: This should result in UserU1 still having co-owner access to DashboardD1 because they are a member of GroupG1. Actual behaviour (bug): UserU1 does not see the Private/Shared toggle button. UserU1 does not see the Share/Republish button. UserU1 can edit widgets on the dashboard (as expected). When another user edits and republishes the dashboard, it overwrites UserU1's changes. (Also, a colleague reported a scenario where maybe UserU1's dashboard failed to get the updates when the dashboard was republished except when they manually clicked restore dashboard; if so, that's probably related to this.) So, when you have co-owner access to a dashboard via an AD group, that seems to behave more like "Designer" access, or like you have only the "Private" version of the dashboard and can't toggle to the "Shared" version. Using non-AD group: I tried the same except that I created GroupG1 in Sisense instead of via AD. Co-ownership worked. Workaround: Do not grant co-ownership to AD groups. Either use Sisense groups or grant co-ownership directly to users.
