To edit a shared summary on a dashboard, what permission level must you have?

1. View Only

2. Edit

3. Admin

4. Owner

The correct answer is: Admin

To edit a shared summary on a dashboard in Smartsheet, having the Admin permission level is crucial because this level grants the user full control over editing all aspects of the dashboard. Admins can make changes to the layout, modify widgets, and adjust the overall content shared within the dashboard. While other permission levels allow for varying degrees of interaction, they do not provide the comprehensive access needed for editing. For instance, "View Only" merely allows for viewing content without any capability to modify it, while "Edit" may sometimes allow changes to specific items but does not include all the functionalities present in the Admin role. The "Owner" permission is also a high-level access but is typically associated with the original creator of the dashboard and may have implications regarding ownership rights rather than editing capabilities alone, making it less definitive than the Admin role when it comes to full editing permissions across shared summaries.
