3. To enable viewers with appropriate user permissions to choose who they view the dashboard as, select **Let dashboard viewers choose whom they view the dashboard as**. If the viewer has View My Team’s Dashboards permission, they can view the dashboard as themselves or as anyone beneath them in the role hierarchy. If the viewer has View All Data permission, they can view the dashboard as anyone.
4. Click **Save**, and from the Dashboard Builder, click **Save** again.

When a user opens your dashboard, they see data as the person that you specified.
