Why each option
To prevent users from modifying source reports and ensure dashboard data integrity, the administrator should move the source reports into a folder with view-only access for general users or create a new report folder specifically with viewer access.
Moving the source reports for the dashboard to a folder that only grants "viewer" access to the relevant users prevents them from making changes to the reports, thus preserving data integrity.
Changing a dashboard to be dynamic allows users to view the dashboard as themselves, but it does not control editing permissions on the underlying source reports.
Creating a new report folder and setting its sharing permissions to "viewer" for the users who access the dashboard, but "editor" only for administrators, ensures that only authorized individuals can modify the source reports.
Moving a dashboard to a user's private folder restricts access to only that user and does not protect the source reports from modification by other users who might still have access to the public folders containing the reports.
