# Copy dashboards to users

{% hint style="warning" %}

* If you copy a dashboard to a user, you create a detached copy.
* You can no longer make any changes to this dashboard afterward.
* If you want to make a change to this dashboard, you must create a new dashboard and copy it again to all users. If necessary, you would have to delete the existing dashboard.
* The user to whom you copied a dashboard could make changes to the dashboard, which could have unwanted consequences.

Therefore, note the new feature [↗ Global Dashboards](https://docs.buildings.ability.abb/collection/english-v14/documentation/dashboard/global-dashboards). 

With "Global Dashboards", you can create a single dashboard and then share this dashboard with as many users as you like. Changes to this dashboard can only be made by you.
{% endhint %}

You can copy one or more dashboards from one user to one or more other users.
