    While in NXT this is possible, I believe that in DB view, the other user must first "Share" you to their dashboard. Then you can access it under Shared Dashboards.

    Yes, RE DB can share also...

    How does an Administrator see db regardless of sharing?

    How can I see dashboard panels designed by other users who have left?

    I have a similar dilemma that I need assistance with. The previous DBA did not share his dashboards before leaving. I can log in to his account to share them with other groups, however, since I have “supervisor” rights, I do not fit under any one group with whom I'd like the share these with. Basically, I just want to share with me. I thought I could just create another group of 1, but I am unable to select myself as a member, again since I have supervisor rights, I do not appear on the list of members. Any thoughts? Workarounds I could try? Greatly appreciate any help here. Thank you, Brenda

    Prior to posting initially, I contacted Support and they were unable to move the dashboards for me from one account to another. One would think that would be possible behind the scenes, regardless, I figured out a work around. 1) I logged into database view as supervisor. 2) I updated my group assignment to non-supervisor, 3) I created a new group with only me as a member. 4) I logged out as supervisor and logged into the account that had the dashboards. 4) I shared each of the dashboards with the newly created group - individually since there is no feature to share multiple dashboards, and logged out. 5) I logged back into Supervisor and updated my rights back supervisor. 6) Finally, back in my own account with access to the dashboards the previous DBA created.
