Hi, I am using Grafana 9 and I want to define permissions for users and teams. When I remove the viewer permission level for the folders containing my dashboards, I expect this access level to be applied to all the dashboards in the folder, but unfortunately the dashboards still have viewer access and I had to remove the viewer role for each dashboard. What is the cause of this issue?

Hi @zahrazare313,

Thanks for opening this post.

I would suggest to try to reproduce this using Grafana ver 10 as there are some bugfixes and improvement made on the folder levels permission mapping.
