1 requires relevant data source permissions for charts, “Dropdown” controls, and “Date slider” controls

2 must also be an Analytics admin

If you have permission to view a dashboard and query all the data sources used in a chart on that dashboard, you’ll find an Explore chart data option in the chart’s More actions () menu. You can’t save changes to the chart, but you can edit the chart and save a copy to a dashboard that you can edit or manage.
