Dashboard creation fails with "Failed to create Dashboard" error in Panther

Last updated: March 25, 2026

QUESTION

Why am I getting a "Failed to create Dashboard" error when trying to create a new dashboard in Panther, even though I can view existing dashboards?

ANSWER

To create and manage dashboards in Panther, you’ll need the Manage Saved Searches permission. The Run Log Searches permission allows you to view existing dashboards, but creating new ones requires Manage Saved Searches, as dashboards are built on top of queries.

To resolve this, please reach out to your Panther administrator to have the Manage Saved Searches permission added to your role. Once it’s enabled, you should be able to create dashboards without encountering this error.
