Hey Tim Are you asking for Viewers to have the ability to add filters that don't currently exist on the dashboard at all?
As a Designer, you can define dashboard filters that can then be made available for Viewers to use. Filters can only be added on dimensions that have already been added to the data panel (in edit mode). And because Viewers don't have that ability, they won't be able to add a filter that doesn't exist.
If you need some guidance, let me know and I'd be happy to help.
And you also mentioned that you can't get the Use permission on a dashboard. The Can Use permission is only available when sharing Data Models with users or groups, but not Dashboards.

Yes.
"Can Use"
Oops, I meant when sharing a data model, not a dashboard.
