Dashboard sharing and copying features are updated

In the past, the members to be shared or copied had to have the Edit role, but since Service 2.3.0 release, as long as they belong to the project regardless of role, they can copy or share a dashboard. However, among the projects in the shared dashboard, the data cannot be viewed because they do not have the Analysis view role. For more information about member roles, see the following.
