+# Dashboard Permissions/ACL API
+
+This API can be used to update/get the ACL for a dashboard or a folder.
+
+Permissions with dashboardId set to `-1` are the default permissions for users with the Viewer and Editor roles. Permissions can be set for a user, a team or a role (Viewer or Editor). Permissions cannot be set for Admins - they always have access to everything.
+
+The permission levels for the permission field:
+
+- 1 = View
+- 2 = Edit
+- 4 = Admin
+
