Custom Permission - how to allow a super user(author) to create/delete analysis/dashboard for testing but not to touch specific analysis/dashboards

We’d like to grant a user ‘special permission’ of authors. But, not all the way.
I see custom permission is somewhat doing what I want but it’s not granular enough. So, I’d like to hear the expert advice.

My assumption : I have 5 analyses in Prod. I call it FINAL analyses.

A super user (author)
- log in Prod
- can create a duplicate of one of 5 final analyses every time - to work on the latest version of analysis
- can do any manipulation on duplicate analysis
- must not be able to alter 5 analyses at all directly (of course)
- once validation/test is complete, user should be able to delete the duplicate s/he made

Basically, we want to give this super user an Author permission so s/he can create/delete/update analyses based on ‘FINAL’ analyses in Prod. This user must not be able to alter any of ‘FINAL’ analyses(including dashboard, dataset, datasource )

The key thing is that User wants to work on the latest version of the analysis at all times.

Can we do this with QuickSight? If so, how ?

Hi,
The super user in Prod can be given Viewer access to the dashboard, with the Save-as option selected.
This way they can create their own copy of the analysis directly from the dashboard and work with that.
