# Managing Dashboard Cards

## Overview

After you [add a card to a dashboard](https://knowledge.threatconnect.com/docs/adding-content-to-dashboards) in ThreatConnect®, you can use the card’s **ACTIONS**menu to manage the card. The **ACTIONS** menu includes options to edit the card’s configuration, rename the card, remove the card from the dashboard, and select which [owners](https://knowledge.threatconnect.com/docs/ownership-in-threatconnect) to display data from on the card.

## Before You Start

### User Roles

- To edit, rename, delete, and manage owners for dashboard cards on custom dashboards you created or another user in your Organization shared, your user account can have any [Organization role](https://knowledge.threatconnect.com/docs/organization-roles).
- To edit, rename, delete, and manage owners for dashboard cards on System-level dashboards that are not built-in dashboards, your user account must have a [System role](https://knowledge.threatconnect.com/docs/threatconnect-system-roles-and-permissions) of Administrator.

### Prerequisites

- To have access to custom dashboards, turn on custom dashboards for your Organization on the **Account Settings**screen (must be an Accounts Administrator, Operations Administrator, or System Administrator to perform this action).

### Managing Owners for a Dashboard Card

There are two ways you can manage [owners](https://knowledge.threatconnect.com/docs/ownership-in-threatconnect) for dashboard cards while viewing a dashboard:

- The **[](https://knowledge.threatconnect.com/docs/my-intel-sources)**[](https://knowledge.threatconnect.com/docs/my-intel-sources)[**My Intel Sources**selector](https://knowledge.threatconnect.com/docs/my-intel-sources)[](https://knowledge.threatconnect.com/docs/my-intel-sources)**[](https://knowledge.threatconnect.com/docs/my-intel-sources)** at the top left of the dashboard (owner selections apply to *all*cards on the dashboard)
- The **Manage Owners**option in the **ACTIONS**menu (owner selections apply only to the selected dashboard card)

3. On the **Manage Owners for Card**window (Figure 2), select one or more [owners](https://knowledge.threatconnect.com/docs/ownership-in-threatconnect) to display data from on the card. To select the same owners that are selected in the [**My Intel Sources**selector](https://knowledge.threatconnect.com/docs/my-intel-sources), turn on the **Inherit owner selections from My Intel Sources** toggle. To select a single owner, hover over the owner’s name and click![View Only Eye icon](https://cdn.document360.io/dfc206c8-1c9f-4725-b74d-a66f83432320/Images/Documentation/View%20Only%20Eye%20icon.png)**only**.
