In Superset, editing a dashboard layout (including resizing/moving widgets) requires the current user to be either an **Admin** or a listed **owner** of that dashboard [[1]](https://github.com/apache/superset/blob/829e4d92d91ceae4b43b1ed3b063ffe45377799c/superset/commands/dashboard/update.py). Even if you can *view* the dashboard, the backend enforces a strict ownership check via `raise_for_ownership()` for any modifications — including layout changes stored in `position_json` [[2]](https://github.com/apache/superset/blob/829e4d92d91ceae4b43b1ed3b063ffe45377799c/superset/security/manager.py). **To resolve this**, try one of the following: 1. **Add yourself as a dashboard owner** — Have an Admin go to the dashboard's properties and add your user to the "Owners" list. 2. **Use an Admin account** — Admins bypass all ownership checks. 3. **Check your role** — Ensure your role has the `can_write` permission on `Dashboard`. This is necessary but not sufficient on its own — you still need to be an owner. If you're accessing this via an embedded dashboard or iframe, there are additional considerations around guest tokens and the `can_read CurrentUserRestApi` permission [[3]](https://github.com/apache/superset/discussions/37406#discussioncomment-17476769). Could you confirm: - What role is assigned to your user (Admin, Alpha, Gamma, or a custom role)? - Are you listed as an owner of the dashboard you're trying to edit? <!-- Dosu Comment Footer --> *To reply, just mention [@dosu](https://go.dosu.dev/dosubot?utm_source=github&utm_medium=bot-comment&utm_campaign=github-comment-footer-20260415&utm_content=reply-with-mention&utm_term=apache%2Fsuperset).* --- Docs are dead.
