Folder and Dashboard Ownership for Multiple Users

[qamardinpal]

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 Dashboards and Folders.  We have around 70 Designers who use our Sisense instance and being able to swap work, work jointly, used shared structures etc. adds a huge amount of time, inconvenience and frustration.  The request here is to allow multiple owners of Folders and Dashboards so that Designers can collaborate more effectively, the flexibility of such work would greatly reduce the time to deployment.

Hello @Rathinakumar , @Drew, we do have plans for improving user experience around folders in the upcoming months. In particular, we are going to focus on enabling users that are not folder owners to add dashboards into folders, which should allow for easier collaboration and dashboards organization.

@YuliyaMotiyetsthis is encouraging - right now this is causing real problems for us in production. There are several important use cases for this folder system - UI presentation to end users, asset organisation and dashboard publication & basic version management.

Items 1 and 2 are high priority, 3 should really be there but less important than the other two.

1. Folders are invisible to other admins if the dashboards that contain them are not shared. This creates a situation where multiple versions of folders or dashboards (even with the same name) can be unknowingly created.
2. Only the owner of a folder can add/remove dashboards. Proper organisation/versioning of assets can be almost impossible without reassignment of dashboard ownership.
3. Not possible to move folders. It's really time-consuming to create a new empty one, drag each dashboard individually and delete the old one.
