Dashboard Link in page Header

Question

I'm having a hard time displaying a link to a dashboard next to the "My Dashboards" link in the header. A link displays for the Administrator account, I just want it to also display for normal users. The dashboard is saved under a shared folder.
Shouldn't it just be as easy as adding the user to the Manage Dashboard permissions with Read access? If I add my user as "Read" access to the dashboard, the only way the user can view the dashboard is if they make it their default dashboard since there is no link in the header. The only way I have found to get the link in the head is to add that user to the "Presentation Server Administrators" group. I even tried creating my own group with my user and adding that to the permissions as Full Control with no success.
My goal is to display a link to my dashboard next to the "My Dashboards" link in the header. I want the dashboard to be read only. Am I missing something?

Answer 1

As you said directly with read permissions the dashboard link doesnt appear because that is rendered through administartor.
You have got it when you added to "Presentation Administrator group" i.e because the server side will handle all the possibilities and the permissions on it.
create your own catalog group again and name it and then after that checkout you have given the right dashboard name and dont leave the dashboard builder empty..Fill it up with Administrator and the user you want to give access then add members to the group and give them the neccessary permissions so that would give them access.
Hope it helps you.
