Allow Admins to Edit Resources Without Changing Ownership (Admin Override / Impersonation)

What is the problem or goal you're trying to solve or accomplish?

Workspace admins need to edit many existing assets (charts, dashboards, datasets, etc.) for maintenance, fixes, standardization, or bulk updates.

Today, even with admin privileges, they can’t edit resources unless they add themselves as an Owner, which is both friction and creates confusing ownership metadata.

The goal is to let admins perform edits using their admin role without altering the asset’s ownership.

How are you solving it currently?

For each resource they want to modify, the admin must:

• Open the asset (chart/dashboard/dataset),

• Add themselves as an Owner (or replace the owner),

• Make the change,

• Optionally revert ownership (often not done due to time/cost).

This is time-consuming, especially when many assets require updates, and it pollutes ownership history / governance.

What is your recommended solution?

Provide a way for admins to edit any resource without needing to set themselves as Owner, for example:

• An “Admin can edit all assets” permission / role capability, or

• An “Edit as admin” mode (admin override) that allows edits while preserving original ownership, or

• An impersonation / acting-as workflow that lets admins edit on behalf of the current owner without changing the owner field.

Ideally, the solution should:

• Preserve existing owner attribution,

• Still maintain auditability (e.g., “edited by admin X at time Y”),

• Scale for bulk maintenance (no one-by-one ownership changes).
