By building individual dashboards tailored for specific profiles (e.g., leadership) that need to see enterprise results, the administrator can configure these dashboards (likely using a running user with 'View All Data' permissions) and then share them only with those authorized profiles via folder permissions. This method ensures that only the intended users see the comprehensive data, while other users' individual sharing settings remain unchanged and they continue to only see opportunities they own when viewing their own reports.

While setting a running user with 'View All Data' is key to showing all opportunities, if this single dashboard were then shared broadly, it could expose aggregated data beyond individual users' standard sharing settings, potentially contradicting the rule that users are only allowed to see opportunities they own.

Updating dashboard folder settings controls access to the dashboard itself, not the data displayed within it, nor does it override object-level security or sharing rules for the underlying data.

Adding a filter to a dashboard only narrows down the data already accessible to the running user; it does not grant access to data that the running user or viewing user otherwise cannot see.
