Dashboard: make the copy of the dashboard to all users available #19371

By default in Matomo it is not possible to share a dashboard with all users but just individually. It could be great to have an option for all users.

Hi @Chardonneaur, thanks for the suggestion.

At the moment a separate copy of the dashboard is created for the target user, this will then not reflect any new changes made to the original dashboard.

To make a dashboard available for all users I'd imagine that it would be better for the dashboard to be shared rather than copied, so instead of creating a copy for every single user, all users would get read-only access to the original shared dashboard and any changes to that dashboard would apply for all users.

@bx80 Then super-users should be able to change the ownership of a dashboard (think about the case where some user leave the company), and also maybe be able to update dashboards of other users...

@bx80 can we share a dashboard will others users?

@heurteph-ei That's a good point, as part of any implementation of dashboard shared we'd need to provide the ability for super-users to change dashboard ownership and have write access to shared dashboards. :+1:

Possibly there should also be a warning if attempting to delete a user who has shared dashboards, or other users could suddenly lose something they rely on.

@Chardonneaur Currently there isn't a way to share dashboards with other users, only to make a one-time copy for a single user. Our product team will review this change and prioritize it for a future release. :slightly_smiling_face:

We had this as a feature request last week in a call with a university.
They have 700 sites.
Many of their users are casual and want a common lightweight, low effort configuration.
Copying one at a time is a significant impediment to rolling out Matomo across their schools.
