Hello, Looking for some help on dashboard sharing please. I have a parent workspace with 500 child workspaces , I have 1 dashboard that I only want to share with 100 of the child workspaces. How can I achieve this ?

Based on the information in the knowledge sources, dashboards created in a parent workspace are automatically inherited by all child workspaces in a read-only mode. There is currently no built-in feature to selectively share a dashboard from a parent workspace with only specific child workspaces—inheritance applies to all children by design. You cannot prevent certain child workspaces from inheriting a dashboard if it exists in the parent workspace. Permissions on dashboards can be extended in child workspaces, but inherited permissions cannot be revoked or restricted for specific child workspaces; you can only add permissions, not remove them, in the child context. This means you cannot "hide" or restrict a parent dashboard from specific child workspaces using the standard sharing or permissions model in GoodData Cloud[Dashboard Inheritance in Workspace Hierarchies](https://www.gooddata.com/docs/cloud/manage-organization/manage-permissions/set-permissions-for-dashboards/#dashboard-inheritance-in-workspace-hierarchies). A possible workaround, as suggested in community discussions, is to create the dashboard directly in each of the 100 child workspaces where you want it to appear, rather than in the parent. Alternatively, you could duplicate the dashboard in those specific child workspaces, allowing you to control its presence and permissions independently in each one. However, this approach requires manual effort or automation via API, as there is no one-click solution for selective inheritance[Community Slack Discussion](https://gooddataconnect.slack.com/archives/C01UR5BGAHY/p1720132987291759?thread_ts=1720132987.291759&cid=C01UR5BGAHY). In summary: - Parent dashboards are inherited by all child workspaces. - You cannot restrict inheritance to only some child workspaces. - To share a dashboard with only specific child workspaces, create or duplicate it directly in those workspaces. If you need to automate this process, you can use the API to create or copy dashboards into the desired child workspaces, but this is not the same as selective sharing from the parent[Build a Workspace Hierarchy](https://www.gooddata.com/docs/cloud/workspaces/workspace-hierarchy/).
