Which permission allows a user to see another user's dashboard, even if the dashboard creator restricted visibility?
- View Dashboards
- View All Data ✓
- Manage Dashboards
- Modify All Data
Correct answer: View All Data
Option B is correct because the View All Data permission in Salesforce grants the ability to view all records across all objects regardless of sharing rules, ownership, or visibility settings, which means a user with this permission can see any dashboard, including those restricted by the creator's visibility settings. Option A is incorrect because View Dashboards is not a standard Salesforce system permission that overrides dashboard-level sharing restrictions in the same way. Option C is incorrect because Manage Dashboards allows users to create and edit dashboards but does not necessarily grant visibility into dashboards that have been restricted by their creators. Option D is incorrect because Modify All Data grants both read and write access to all records, which goes far beyond what is needed and describes a broader permission, though it would also grant viewing access, the most precise and least-privilege answer for visibility alone is View All Data.
