Folders and Dashboards are only permitted to have 1 owner, this has been the case with Sisense since we first started using it 6 years ago. The time has really come to allow multiple owners of Dashb...
Just to add to the request list here. Folder management is something that we expected to be there as a basic feature, but it is very problematic right now and impractical in practice for a large organisation.
There are 2 core use-cases for folders:
- To allow us to manage various types and targets for dashboards.
- To segregate areas/groups/usage
- To allow us to manage what we present to users in the UI.
Whilst ultimately everything resolves to an ID, it makes SiSense very hard to work with for day to day use and I can see this limiting how we expand usage.
Current issues:
- Admin permissions are not correctly respected; they cannot move, edit or add to folders owned by other users. This creates a situation where we have to shift ownership temporarily to move things around.
- Cannot change ownership of a folder. This wouldn't be such an issue if Admins were able to manage and move dashboards and folders, whoever is the notional 'owner'.
- Lack of Admin means we cannot, in practice move/rearrange folders without a lot of pain. If a folder is owned by person A, but the dashboards have other authors (very common), it creates a situation where the only way to change the structure is for the current Admin to create a new folder, take ownership and move everything one by one - then hand them all back.
